Helen Lowrie Garden Design

Profile

Combining my life-long passion for gardening with my skills and talent as an artist has enabled me to create beautiful, practical gardens.

Initially I completed a BA (hons) degree in Fine Art Sculpture at Brighton and a Royal Horticultural Society course in Horticulture. I then went on to graduate with a distinction in Garden Design from the prestigious Capel Manor College, London.

There is always a great thrill and satisfaction in transforming an under-used or difficult space, into an idyllic, easy-to-maintain, oasis of calm. I create spaces that flow outwards from the house, allowing the garden to become a natural extension of the home.

All my designs are sensitively tailored to meet the individual needs of my client, their home, and the surrounding landscape. Designs comprise a bold underlying structure softened with lush planting to provide year-round colour and interest.

Environmental elements such as encouraging & protecting wildlife and water conservation are integral to my garden designs. I have particular specialist knowledge of drought and dry-shade tolerant plants (of growing importance whilst climate change and hosepipe bans are becoming more widespread).

Recent projects range from large naturalistic wildlife gardens to small contemporary urban roof terraces. I personally monitor garden transformations from conception to completion - and then for a whole year afterwards, to ensure my clients' peace of mind.
