My Mission

My Experience

My Experience

Hello, I'm Sarah a freelance Garden Designer based in Canterbury, Kent.  I truly believe in the healing power of nature and my passion is in helping my clients transform their own gardens into a beautiful,  yet practical sanctuary of calm and relaxation.

I believe a good garden design isn't necessarily about spending a fortune, It's about understanding your space, how you want to use your garden and what would entice you outside to make the most of your outdoor room.

What I deliver for my clients

Expert guidance

Whether you've inherited a blank canvas new-build garden or an overgrown tangle of mature plants that you can't identify, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Design My Garden offers affordable garden design near me, including garden consultations, garden makeovers in Kent, and full garden design services. We can help you identify what’s already growing, enabling you to care for the gems you already own while also recommending beautiful plants and flowers to keep your borders bursting with color and interest throughout the year. Additionally, we can assist in determining your soil type by taking samples, preventing you from wasting money at the garden center on plants that won't thrive in your garden. So, whether you're looking to refresh a tired border, need assistance with a problem area like flooding or hiding an unattractive bin store, or want a complete redesign, consulting a garden designer in Kent for expert advice can save you time, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure the right plants are chosen for the right place. Plus, for tailored gardening advice near me, local professionals offer invaluable insights to enhance your garden’s potential.

Bespoke budget management

Last year, I visited a client who was dissatisfied with their patio and considered a replacement that could exceed £15,000. As a garden designer in Kent, I suggested an affordable garden design near me that included creating new borders to break up the expanse of hardscape by lifting some slabs. This approach allowed for a budget-friendly garden makeover Kent, featuring a new pergola, seating area, lighting plan, and even a water feature!  


Transforming your garden into your dream space doesn’t have to be costly. A garden consultation in Canterbury offers a cost-effective way to gain professional insights before you invest significantly in plants or landscaping. Together, we will prioritize your wish list, explore practical ideas, and make informed choices that suit both your garden and budget. With expert planting advice near me, you can often save hundreds—or even thousands—by avoiding costly mistakes in your garden renovation near me.  


If you’re searching for landscape design near me, let’s connect and embark on your journey to a stunning garden!

Project Management

With the introduction of AI, everyone now has access to some form of garden design. However, a key aspect of the role of a garden designer, especially for those in search of affordable garden design near me, is to turn those designs into reality! I believe we’ve all daydreamed while sitting in front of the TV, imagining various garden scenarios on our phones. In my role as a garden designer in Kent, I can evaluate which garden designs would be both practical and financially realistic for your space in Garden Design Canterbury. I conduct garden consultations, take soil samples, source competitively priced materials and landscapers, and project manage the entire process. Additionally, I purchase the plants and provide you with expert advice on the correct soil recipe for your individual garden, ensuring that every element is positioned perfectly. My goal is to make certain your dream garden is completed on time and within budget—like a horticultural concierge! If you're interested in a garden makeover in Kent, or require assistance with garden renovation near me, I’m here to help.
