planting design essentials
Both practical and inspirational this book will guide you through the fanstinating process of planting design.

Pamela Johnson Garden Design is a long established design practice dedicated to helping you get the best from your garden by utilising a wealth of knowledge and practical experience. With a relaxed and informal approach, ideas are explored and solutions found, leading to stunningly beautiful and workable results. Whatever you need, be it a large family garden or a smart place to party, a wild life haven or a neatly trimmed front garden, we will find an answer.

And size doesn’t matter! You might have a tiny courtyard or a few acres of wilderness, either way I can bring out the potential of even the most difficult site. I cover all aspects of gardens from the aesthetics of ornamental planting, lighting and sculpture to the practical considerations of where to store the wheelie bin, park the car or hang up the washing line.

My designs are as varied as my client’s personalities, but simplicity and harmony are the key principles which make all my gardens stand out. Along with an understanding of how to manipulate three dimensional spaces which has been gained through years of exploring and studying art and design. A love of art and a passion for horticulture and nature is central to my work.

I am a Registered member of the Society of Garden Designers, the leading UK professional body for garden design. My own garden in South West London has been attracting visitors through the National Gardens Scheme for over twenty years. I now have many impressive mature gardens in London and around the UK which demonstrate my skills and dedication to this unique profession.

Inspiration

Inspiration for garden design comes from all sorts of places and experiences, not just other gardens. I take photos everywhere I go because you never know when an image will trigger an idea no matter how obscure they may seem. I have just returned from holiday in the Lot Valley and here are some of the [...]

My visit to Bluebell Cottage Garden

I visited Bluebell Cottage Gardens in Cheshire last month with my sister and was stunned at how lovely the planting looked. This is my second visit, last time was late winter and we just looked around the nursery. I came away with masses of photographs which is a sure sign that it looked good but I also had that glowing feeling I get [...]

What’s happening in my garden today?

This is so exciting, my first squash plant with baby ‘Harlequin’ Squash on it and I grew it from seed! It’s in a large pot rather than in the ground so may not get to be the monster it should. Hydrangea aspera Villosa group or sargentiana, I never know which? This is one of my [...]
