Brilliant – the best before and after set of garden videos I have seen and of course being set to music only adds to the energy. Thank you for sharing these images with us. Cheers! John
Thank you! (words would never be enough to show you my appreciation)
You are very welcome Erika. Glad you have found this helpful.
i need design ideas for a roof garden please
There’s an article here that will help, http://www.successfulgardendesign.com/big-ideas-for-tiny-roof-gardens-part-2/
Let me know if you have any specific design questions & I will do my best to answer them in a future blog post or podcast.
This is really breathtaking, thank you
I love the before and after views, which are the only way to have proof of all the hard work that has gone into the project.
I live in northern France, I’d like to send you a plan of my garden, I’d appreciate your precious advice.
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed the photos. Do please send me your plan, happy to take a look!
Best wishes

Brilliant website, was wondering what type of hardwood decking you use or recommend as the designs on here look stunning. Thanks
Hi Mark,
Thank you! We mostly use Ipe. It has a beautiful colour when it’s oiled and fades to a distinguished silver if you choose not to oil it and it is less expensive than teak.

Absolutely brilliant website, so inspiring. I was wondering what the lovely big purple round headed flowers are please?
Hi Christine, they are alliums, I think the variety we used in that garden was called Purple Sensation!
Hello!!!! Im a biologist from Colombia. I’m trying long time ago to find a good course of gardening desing or landscaping… i’ve been working in gardening desing for almost tree years here in Colombia, but i will like to learn more and to do better things every day. May be you can help me suggesting something…..
thank you very very much and let mi tell you that you a very nice website!!!!
Thank you Adriana. Well I do run a online garden design course. It doesn’t have a qualification as it was designed for homeowners but it does show you the fast way to design a garden. You can find out more information here: http://www.successfulgardendesign.com/products/ click on the first one as that is the main course and includes the survey and planting course as part of it.
If you do want a qualification then there are a list of good college courses here: http://www.gardensillustrated.com/advertisement-feature/education-guide
Hope that helps!

Rachel-Your design work is outstanding. I love looking at all you have done for your clients. Every project is amazing with incredible transformations. Can’t heap on enough praise! If I was a newbie gardener and was just setting out on my project I would certainly do your design course. Coming to Austin again? Let us know.
Ah thank you so much Jenny, that’s really kind of you to say
Well, your garden is absolutely beautiful so think you’ve done just fine without my course!! I would love to come to Austin again, I had such a great time, not sure when I’ll next be back but yes, I will definitely let you know.
Please I live in a Senior apartment building,,,,we need to have an entrance with color and flowers atc,what do you suggest? shaded in am but hot sun in afternoon,,,Greatly appreciated thanks …would like to have some perennials as they spend way to much on annuls every year
Hi Marion,
Which part of the world are you in and what is the hottest and coldest temperatures you get? If you can give me an idea of those I can make a few suggestions.
The best place though, is to go to a website that helps you choose plants based on location, colour etc – take a look at this page to read more: http://www.successfulgardendesign.com/great-new-garden-plant-picking-resource-and-its-free/
