Planting Plans Only

---

Not every garden needs a full redesign or major renovation. Sometimes the structure works, the paths are fine, and what’s really missing is the planting. If you’re stuck choosing plants, unsure how to pull a scheme together, or worried about things failing after the first season, a planting plan can be exactly what you need. 

I create tailored planting schemes across a range of styles, from relaxed cottage gardens and contemporary planting to more structured and formal layouts. I also have a particular passion for exotic-looking planting schemes that thrive in the Irish climate, using bold foliage, layered planting and texture to create lush, immersive gardens without relying on plants that struggle in our conditions.

My planting plan service is for people who want clarity and confidence. I take the guesswork out of plant choice and create considered schemes that suit your garden, your lifestyle and the Irish climate, without committing you to a full design package.

A good planting scheme isn’t just about pretty plants. It’s about balance, structure, seasonal interest and choosing plants that will thrive long term, not struggle after year one.

I design planting plans that consider light levels, soil, exposure and maintenance from the start. You’ll get combinations that look good together, grow well together and improve with time. Whether you’re refreshing tired borders, starting from bare soil or fixing planting that never quite worked, I’ll help you get it right.

Your planting plan can be used on its own or alongside an existing garden layout. Depending on your needs, this can include a clear planting layout, plant lists with quantities, and guidance on spacing and care so you know exactly what to buy and where it goes.

Everything is designed to be straightforward to follow, whether you’re planting it yourself or handing it to a landscaper or gardener.

This service is ideal if you like your garden’s layout but want better planting, if you’re overwhelmed by plant choice, or if you want a more cohesive look without starting from scratch. It’s also a great option if you’re phasing work over time and want a solid planting strategy to build on.
