Gardens that disappoint – the Chelsea Flower Show

By 4 Comments

Have you been watching the coverage of the world’s greatest gardens, the Chelsea Flower Show in London? What do you think of the gardens this year?

Chelsea Flower Show Display Garden from a few years ago...

Chelsea Flower Show Display Garden from a few years ago…

I hate to admit it, but I’m really not enjoying the gardens. In fact, if I’m really honest, I haven’t for a few years now…

After watching the garden coverage on TV, I think I’ve turned into a ‘grumpy old woman’ (though that might be the result of a recent significant-ish birthday). If my grumpiness isn’t a result of the ‘0’, then is it because we are getting the same old gardens repackaged at Chelsea each year, but with slightly different gimmicks?

The Chelsea Flower Show used to be the highlight of my year. I’d go down to London, full of excitement, with an armful of cameras and film, fight my way through the crowds and walk round in awe at the amazing and inspiring gardens. Now I’m sitting in front of the TV, yawning or muttering, “They did that garden three years ago. That one is a re-hash of so and so’s garden and why on earth did they do that!”

What’s the problem?

Is it age that’s making me fed up with all the gimmicks and metaphors that designers seem to be spouting on about, or have the gardens lost their true essence these days? Has anyone designed a Chelsea garden this year for no other reason than to create a stunning garden to inspire people?

I feel when designers are focusing too much on the concepts and trying to add things they wouldn’t normally, for the sake of their theme, the gardens lose something as a result.

Bad design examples

What’s really making me grumpy is seeing gardens that don’t flow and work as a garden that well. I’m seeing designs that are nothing more than a series of unrelated features. They don’t utilise the space well. Some shapes even make the garden look narrow and awkward. And don’t get me started on the practicalities of actually mowing those odd shaped lawns!

Now, in fairness, I haven’t yet seen all of the main gardens on TV yet, so I am really hoping that there will be a garden that’s well designed, so I can say “Wow, I want to design a garden like that!”

I know how incredibly hard everyone involved with the show works. It’s no mean feat getting a garden built to the high specifications, deadlines and pressure that goes with the world’s greatest garden show. I just want to see less gimmicks and metaphors (when did a garden EVER need a metaphor) and more inspiring design.

I want REAL gardens.

Perhaps then, Chelsea isn’t the place for that. It is a show after all.

A quest to find the greatest gardens on Earth (well Europe at least…)

Campervan

Just as well I’m about to set off on the Great Garden Tour of Europe (in a campervan, no less!).

For the next few months I’m going to be visiting inspiring gardens and filming, writing and generally dissecting what makes them so great, so that you can re-create elements of their greatness in your own garden.

There will not be gimmicks. There will be great design and great ideas for you.

I have a few gardens on my visit hit list via the book ’1001 Gardens You Must See Before You Die’ – now there’s a book title and a half. BUT, I want to see gardens that people have designed themselves as well as designers and landscape architects’ work. The types of gardens that you can’t normally get in to see.

Do you know of a garden that you think I should visit? If so, please get in touch in the comments below or through the form on the contact page.

What do you think about this year’s Chelsea Flower Show?

Hopefully, it is just me that’s feeling jaded with the Chelsea this year. I hope that other people are feeling inspired. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below…

Next Garden Design Workshop – What Do You Want to See?

By 2 Comments

The online Garden Design Workshop had a great turn out at the weekend (still available to view for free until the end of today, so hurry if you want to catch the free version!).

GardenDesignWorkshop1
Thank you so much those that did attend and for all the positive feedback. It was really heart-warming stuff, it makes my day to get such a response from so many of you!

I’m planning on doing more like it this year. I thought perhaps one on Small Garden Design and another on Plant Design. Or possibly a series of mini-tutorials on topics you suggest. Question is, what would you most like me to do first?

Which garden improvement tutorial would you most like to see first? I’ve set up a poll on Facebook, so you can have your say there by clicking on the button below.

Vote Now

For the Small Garden Design Workshop I will need another garden to demonstrate on. So if that option get’s picked first, keeping watching this space for details of how you can enter your garden for a free design.

For the Plant Design Workshop I will most likely be working on a garden I’ve already designed, unless there are people out there that have had a design done and don’t have a planting scheme yet? The reason I’m insisting on a design is because unless there is a good design structure in place, the planting alone won’t make a garden look good.

Or, if you have specific things you are stuck with in your garden, let me know what it is you’d like help with and I’ll do a short video, if that option gets picked.

So it’s over to you to have your say. Leave a comment in the box below or vote on the Facebook Poll. Oh and do feel free to make suggestions for other workshops. I’ve done the ones I think are most needed, but what else do you want to see? Let me know your thoughts by commenting below.

Need Help and Ideas for Your Garden, for Free?

By 4 Comments

It’s the time of year where we all start to think that we should be starting to ‘do’ something with the garden… But what exactly? How much will it cost? And where to start?

ModernGarden

It can be really frustrating to spend a small fortune on plants and features, only to find that you’re not happy with the end results once you’ve placed everything in your garden. Then follows the hours of shuffling things around to see if moving things from one side of the garden to the other improve things…

It doesn’t!

I’m on a bit of a mission this year to help make sure you don’t waste your hard earned cash on things that won’t improve your garden (very easily done). So, I’m doing a series of FREE online Garden Design Workshops. The first one will be replayed between 12-17th April.

The garden design workshops are designed to show you EXACTLY what you need to do to create a great looking garden using a real life example.

There’s a REALLY simple technique that you can use to quickly and easily transform your garden without needing to spend a fortune.

You don’t need to be a talented artist or be able to visualise for this technique to work. It’s this simple technique that I’m going to be showing you how to do in the online Garden Design Workshop.

Best of all, this simple technique can be used no matter what size, shape or style of garden you have now – interested?

Did You Miss The 1st Workshop?

This is version 2.0 of the workshop I held in March where I designed a long narrow garden in a contemporary style. I’ve had emails from people that missed the workshop the first time around (their friends told them about it after it had finished!). I’ve made a few tweaks and have added some bonus tips that weren’t shown in the original workshop.

Here’s What People Are Saying About the Online Garden Design Workshop

GardenDesignWorkshopTestimonialsGarden Design Workshop Details

When is it?

You can view the garden design workshop re-play anytime between Friday 12th to Wednesday 17th April.

Where is it?

Wherever you are – it’s all online so you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your home to attend!

How much is it?

Nada. It’s completely FREE!

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one – well, not a big one! It’s possible that when I show you the REAL secret to achieving a great looking garden, some people might be upset as it goes against everything that you’ve ever been told about gardens… the method I’m demonstrating is VERY counterintuitive (it’s also very effective) which is why you don’t read about it in book and magazines.

The only thing I ask of you in return is that you tell people about what you’ve learned in the workshop. Spread the word. I’m only one voice, but if each of you tells everyone you know, then we can make a difference. That’s my goal with this.

Just click on the bright blue button below and enter your email address on the sign up page so I can send you details of the workshop (if you’ve already previously signed up, you’ll receive the emails automatically as soon as the workshop goes live again).

Screen Shot 2013-03-01 at 08.48.06

P.S. this could be the last time the workshop is shown for FREE, as it will be launched as a paid for mini-course at some point in the future, so don’t miss it!

P.P.S Please tell everyone you know about the workshop using the share buttons below – thank you!

Garden Design Workshop – Which Garden Would You Like to See Designed?

By 4 Comments

It was a tough decision to pick just three gardens to be finalists for the free design I’m doing as part of the FREE Online Garden Design Weekend Workshop coming very soon. I want the garden design workshop to be of the highest value possible to the most number of people, so I chose gardens that represented this.

ChoosegardenSGD

I was expecting to see lots of gardens that had already been landscaped but needed improving, as this is what I tend to see when I’m called out as a professional designer. However, the noticeable trend for the free design was for a ‘blank canvas garden’. In particular, long gardens. So, now that we have our three finalists, I need you to vote and tell me which one you’d like to see designed in the upcoming workshop.

To help you decide, here’s a bit more information about the design styles each of our finalists would have if they are chosen:

Garden A

Martyn would love to have a curvaceous design that incorporates a new raised seating area at the top of the garden where it’s nice and sunny. He wants the retaining wall for the patio terrace to tie in with the white walls of his house. He’d also like an area for entertaining and BBQ-ing closer to the house.

Garden B

Sam would love to have a modern, funky looking garden with a Japanese feel. She has two children (ages 12 and 8) and would also love a den area for them at the end of the garden.

Garden C

Catherine would like a natural garden to encourage bees, birds, wildlife etc. Lowish maintenance, with a way of incorporating the pond and improving the large patio.

Here’s How to Vote:

I’ve set up a poll on Facebook, so just go to the Successful Garden Design Page, ‘Like’ it and cast your vote in the poll. You have until Sunday morning to vote! Good luck to our three finalists!

Vote Now

Want to Come to the FREE Online Garden Design Workshop?

Of course you do! You’ll learn a really easy and inexpensive way to landscape your garden & it’s FREE to attend, so why not? It won’t be the same without you there! It’s on Saturday 16th March with video replays available for a few days afterwards in case you can’t make it on the day. Just click on the button below to find out more and signup to attend.

Garden Needed to Design for Upcoming Workshop (it’s FREE!)

By 2 Comments

FREE-GARDEN-DESIGN
The FREE garden design workshop will be happening very soon (Saturday 16th March to be precise). To re-cap, this free event is online, so you can join in wherever you are in the world and watch a garden being designed from start to finish.

There will also be an opportunity to ask me any garden design questions you may have at the end. If you’re not able to make it on the day, video replays will be available for a few days after the event.

Here’s Where You Can Get Your Garden Designed for FREE!

However, before we can do the workshop, I’m going to need a garden to design!

How about yours?

Ideally, I’m looking for a back garden to design. It can be in any state, from dreadful, to not quite looking as you’d hoped! You can enter via Facebook at the FREE GARDEN DESIGN tab on the Successful Garden Design page.

How to Enter Your Garden

All you have to do is upload one picture of your garden, taken from the house looking down to the end of the garden onto the Successful Garden Design Facebook page. Please note: these kind of Facebook pages can take a moment or two to load, so be patient! You’ll need to click ‘Like’ at the top of the page to be taken to the photograph uploa

Entries need to be in by the end of February (that’s Thursday 28th) so you only have a week or so to enter. I will then choose three possible candidates and get the lovely people on Facebook to vote for the garden they’d like to see designed during the workshop.

The winning garden will be designed to your tastes, location and style you want to achieve. Basically, you’ll be getting a free design worth over £700 (approx $1100 USD) and you can sit and watch it being designed on the day.

Once the workshop is over I will email you the plan so you can get on and build your dream garden. Or have someone else build it for you. The plan will be to scale so a landscaper will be able to work from it.

IMPORTANT!

The garden design workshop is a very public event, so please do not send any images you don’t want the world to see!

By sending me photos of your garden you are giving me full permission to use that image and your garden in the workshop and any promotions either side of it which will feature on social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter as well as this website, plus associated websites and who knows, maybe even magazine articles too.

So, what are you waiting for? Get entering your garden already! Good luck and please tell everyone you know about the workshop – the aim behind all this is to show people there is an easy way to a great looking garden, that doesn’t cost the earth.

Come and Join Us in the Workshop

If you would like to get ahead of the queue for the garden design workshop, you can signup for that for free here: http://www.courses.successfulgardendesign.com/ggf-workshop/

Small Garden Design Tips – Gardening Today Interview

By 4 Comments

Small gardens can often be a little challenging to make them look good. Just how do you fit everything you want into a small garden?

How do you make a small space garden look and feel larger? The answer to these questions and more were answered on the Gardening Today web radio show.

It was my great pleasure to be interviewed by writer and broadcaster Kate Copsey the other week. We discussed in detail how to make any small garden look amazing.

Watch the replay below to find out how you can transform your garden quickly and easily, without needing to spend a fortune. Unfortunately the phone connection did get a little weird occasionally, so the sound quality does jump in places, but stay with it, it soon clears again.

Small Garden Design Tips

Here are some of the small garden design that were featured in the interview.

Modern

In this modern garden the paving slabs run from left to right, which makes the area look wider. The deck boards run from top to bottom of the garden, which help make it look longer.

HertsGarden

How you shape your lawn and patio areas will make a much bigger difference than plants alone can. Small gardens in particular need special attention paid to the shapes you use in the garden. Focus on the these shapes first, then work out which plants to use – the results will be a million times better than just focusing on the plants alone.

LongNarrowGdn

This long, narrow, small garden is made to look larger by taking the eyes from one side of the garden to the other, with careful placement of paving and features to draw the eyes through the garden. Circles are great for making small gardens look and feel larger.

The Small Garden Design Formula

If you’d like to learn the Small Garden Design Formula for yourself and be guided step-by-step through the design process, then do check out the Small Garden Design Formula page.

If you have any questions or comments about small gardens, please leave them in the box below.

Landscaping Disasters – How to Avoid Wasting Money in Your Garden

By 10 Comments

Landscaping a garden can be a costly business. There are certainly ways keep costs down but there’s one thing that will really screw up any landscaping work you have done…

Not having a design.

I see this all the time. People hire a professional landscape team, pay out several thousand to create their dream garden only to find it doesn’t look a great deal better at the end of it.

Undesigned v designed garden - good design doesn't need to be complicated

Undesigned v designed garden – good design doesn’t need to be complicated

It’s NOT the landscaper’s fault!

Really it’s not. They might have built you a fantastic patio, using lovely materials, laid to perfection but unless the shape is right, it can end up making your garden look smaller and very dull.

Landscapers on the whole just build. Very few consider themselves to be designers.

Building and designing, very different skills.

That’s not to say all landscapers can’t design, some can, pretty well but most aren’t schooled in it. They will try their best for you but the results aren’t likely to be on a par with a good designer, especially if they’ve provided you with a free sketch or budget design.

In fact I came across a really horrific example of this just yesterday!

This Really Upsets Me…

So I’ve come back to the UK for Christmas. Whilst out on our traditional Boxing Day walk a friend of mine points out the back garden of someone in her village that’s recently been landscaped. She excitedly tells me “They had landscapers in for three weeks, must have cost them a fortune!”

Now, I’m on a break, not thinking about gardens at all but as we got closer to the garden, which was near the woods we’d just walked through, I could see there was a gap in the hedge, needless to say curiosity got the better of me…

Oh dear! Really wish I hadn’t looked. I could see that about £4-5,000 (approx $7,000) worth of landscaping work had been carried out. Very good build quality, so the landscapers clearly knew what they were doing on the construction side but they didn’t know about design. It did not look good at all.

They Needn’t Have Wasted Their Money

If they had just spent a little bit of time thinking about the design shape first, they could have created an amazing looking garden for the same amount of money. Such a waste.

The main problem was the pond, pergola, path and focal point had been placed in the garden rather than designed into it. If you just add a pond, pergola or other feature rather than ‘designing’ them into the scheme, they tend to look like they’ve fallen out the sky and landed in your garden. They will never look like they belong there.

Design can be so SIMPLE, if you go about it the right way. That’s the part that really gets to me. So many people add ‘stuff’ to their garden rather than planning it properly. It’s so important to start with the overall shape of your lawn and patio areas BEFORE you add the features (you can do this retrospectively, if you’ve already added lots of features, it’s just a bit trickier to do).

My biggest wish for the upcoming year is to demonstrate just how easy it can be to transform a garden, without spending a fortune. So I’m planning on doing a lot more FREE stuff - particularly video tutorials and online weekend workshops.

What Do You Want to See? What is Your Stuck Point with Your Garden?

GardenDesignTutorialsI’m going to create some free weekend workshops in March as well as some video tutorial blog posts in February.

To make sure I can help you, please tell me in the comment box below where you feel stuck with your garden.

If you want to send me photos, please do and I might feature your garden in one of the video tutorials or garden design weekend workshops (so please don’t send pictures you don’t want the world to see!). You can email them to ‘ Courses @ successful garden design .com ‘ (no spaces, they’re to stop spam bots!).

Please tell all your friends, to leave a comment or drop me an email, the better idea you can give me of what it is you need to know, the better job I’ll be able to do of helping you.

P.S. If you don’t want to wait until the videos and workshops are ready, then visit the home page of this site and signup to watch the free garden design video tutorial I’ve already done.

Garden and Landscape Design Online – How NOT to Get Caught by Cr@p this Christmas

By 4 Comments

Gifts for gardeners are plentiful this time of year, especially online but how do you know if what you are purchasing is as good as they say it is?

 

In this post, I’m going to give you my top 5 ways to spot a great garden gift idea from a ghastly one! Before we get to these top tips, I’m going to share one of my own ghastly experiences from, well, earlier this week actually…

This week I was researching other products that help people design their garden. I came across one that looked excellent. I decided I should purchase it before recommending it, just in case…

Fantastic Online Garden Landscaping Product – It Looked The Biz!

It consisted of a gallery of thousands of beautifully landscaped gardens to give people inspiration. Included was access to a variety of ebooks on various aspects of gardening and landscaping.

The sales page was very professionally done and the product created by a very experienced garden designer. I’ve been professionally designing gardens for over 20 years and teaching design for the last three years, so I was really looking forward to seeing someone else’s work.

My excitement didn’t last long after purchase though…

O H  M Y  -  T H I S  W A S   A W F U L !

Although there were some professionally landscaped gardens there were also a fair few that weren’t. Some pictures looked like they’d been taken from a moving car, showing only the side of someone’s house and their hedge in detail.

In the front yard section, there were pictures of someone’s steps with a flowerpot either side of them – there was no garden, just the original steps that came with the house!

Included was a nice selection of pictures of Orchids – yes, the ones you can only grow inside your house (unless you live in a tropical rainforest). Fabulous landscaping idea they’d be, if you want to spend a fortune and have the entire neighbourhood laugh at you when they all die a month later.

There were some nice garden images but nowhere near the quantity the product name implied (presumably, each picture contained several “landscaping ideas” to reach the allotted quantity advertised) – in my opinion it was a complete rip off.

Nauseating….

Perception is everything. I thought the landscaping ideas thing would be good because it was created by a professional landscaper designer (there was a nice picture of her, looking trustworthy). It even listed the professional landscaping association she belonged to.

The other factor that pre-disposed me to assume it was a quality product was the price (it was $97 reduced to $47) that’s dearer than many of the courses I’ve worked very hard for months to create (that are good and actually show people step-by-step how to design a great garden, as well as provide them with lots of landcape garden photos)!

I really wasn’t expecting a bunch of pictures shoved on a crumby looking webpage along with a load of ‘bonus’ ebooks on how to garden, written like a collection of cheap articles taken from the internet.

This made me mad. Rubbish like this tarnishes everybody’s reputation, and those of us that are genuinely trying to create something of value get tarred with the same brush as a result. It did get me thinking, though…

If I got sucked in by the professional sales page, someone that’s professionally trained AND writes garden design books and online training materials, how on earth are other people supposed to know the difference?

Checking It Out Properly

So, I did some digging behind the scenes. This enabled me to come up with some top tips on how you can avoid buying yourself or a loved one something as bad.

Top 5 Tips to Avoid Buying Rubbish Online

  1. Search to find out more online before you buy. I should have done this. When I did finally put the “garden designer’s” name into Google I couldn’t find her, other than on various different versions of the sales page. You’d expect at least a website for such an accomplished designer – there was nada for this mysterious professional.
  2. Be really careful of reviews – has the evaluation been done by a genuine customer? A lot of these types of products have reviews written by affiliates (which is fine if they disclose the fact they are on commission). Not everyone does, though. So if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
  3. Watch out for ‘As seen on TV’ or the logos of various magazines. The term ‘featured in’ could just mean they advertised there and not that the magazine or TV show is recommending the product.
  4. Keep an eye out for negative language – this product kept saying how much garden designers rip off their clients with overcharging. Considering this was (allegedly) created by a garden designer, that should have flagged it immediately. A good designer would never say that (yes, I am feeling stupid I bought this now – say nothing and learn from my error [yes I am still waiting to hear back about the refund, 5 days and counting] – update, I did get a refund after a month).
  5. BONUSES worth hundreds of dollars! – I’ve saved my favourite till last. If there’s a list of bonuses as long as your arm, that’s one thing, but when you’re told this incredible info is worth $$$ more than the actual product, it’s a red flag in my book. You don’t see Apple listing hundreds of dollars in bonus items when you buy an iPad, do you? There’s a reason for that – they have a good product.
  6. UPDATE – thought of this one belatedly – if there’s no contact details on the website, there’s no way of getting in touch if the online ‘help desk’ option fails. To get my refund processed I ended up contacting Clickbank as I never heard back from the help desk!

Shocking

I know some people out there just want to make a quick buck without working hard to earn it, but even so I’m am genuinely shocked by how bad this overly priced product is. Aside from that, it has made me re-evaluate what I’m offering here at Successful Garden Design. How are people supposed to know about how much work, love and attention to detail goes into every course? How do people know that I care about what I do here?

Truth is, they don’t.

My existing customers do, though. They know how much has gone into it all because they’ve experienced it. But I bet there’s a lot of people, if they’ve been stung by something dodgy off the internet, will think this is the same.

A Change is Coming…

My original plan was to make everything very affordable so everyone can easily learn how to create a great looking garden. So all the online garden design courses and design formulas have been vastly underpriced for years. I’ve realised, though, after this experience, that if the price doesn’t reflect the quality of the goods people will assume it’s cr@p. I’ve worked too hard on all of this to allow that to happen, so it’s time to rectify it.

Prices Are Going Up Significantly

By approximately a third, as of next week! The Great Garden Formula is long overdue an increase as a lot more content has been added in the new 2.0 version this year. It’s going to increase by £100 (approx $160) before Christmas and again in the New Year when I’ve added a couple more style guides to it.

Everything, from garden design courses to design services will increase after Tuesday. So if you’ve been thinking about buying a design course or service, now is most definitely the time to do it if you want to bag a bargain. I will be doing a Christmas buy one-get-one free offer in December for a few days, but if you just want to buy for yourself, you’ll get the best price now. Even with the price rise they will still be great value though.

p.s. if you Google ‘Rachel Mathews garden designer’, you will find I’m a real garden designer!

p.p.s I am definitely not saying all online photographic collections of gardens are bad – a few years ago I was asked to contribute photos of contemporary gardens for one [update: I've now remembered the name of it http://www.landscapingideasonline.com - this is how it should be done. Properly designed gardens, displayed on a really good website that's had a lot of time spent putting it together]. It was put together by a qualified garden designer.

Had a similar experience or have additional online purchasing advice? Leave a comment in the box below. Please share so people you know can avoid buying you bad gifts!

Californian Courtyard Garden Design Makeover – on a budget

By 3 Comments

Garden designers are often accused of designing gardens that people can’t afford (just read the second page of comments on the design video on YouTube if you want to get a taste of how intensely people feel about this)…

So what do you do if you can’t afford to rip up your existing garden and start again? Should you give up if you’re on a tight budget? Absolutely not! It’s true that landscaping can be costly, but it doesn’t have to be. Good design isn’t about how much money you have to spend. Good design is really about how you shape the space you have in the garden.

A Simple Courtyard Garden Makeover

Below are pictures of the Californian courtyard garden that needed a makeover. The concrete has to stay in place and there are lots of doors and windows from all four sides of the house, making it a tricky area to design.

Courtyard Garden Before Makeover

Click on the video below to see the design process needed to give this courtyard a very simple makeover and see how just adding a few planters in the RIGHT place totally changes the look and flow of the garden.

The plan below is the version the client chose.

If you’d like to learn more about how you can design your own garden then take a look at the online garden design courses I run here at Successful Garden Design. The courses can be downloaded to your computer, iPad or Android tablet enabling you to learn anytime and anywhere.

If you’d like me to do a video review for your garden then take a look at the Garden Design Clinic Page for more information.
