Cosy Courtyard Garden

This private townhouse in Christchurch city was transformed into a tranquil space for the owner to relax in.

Lush layers of evergreen planting, with sprinkles of white flowers, were used to brighten up the space and add interest throughout the seasons.

“When I moved into my beautiful new home in Christchurch I wanted to turn the very un-manicured backyard into a memorial garden for my Dad. 

I believe you met people for a reason and I was so fortunate to meet Clare  and talk through my ideas and blend them with hers to came up with a design. 

From there Clare has helped me every step of the way, going above and beyond to create the dramatic transformation that has me now enjoying the most beautiful sanctuary. 

Whenever I wish to add to the garden in any way and send Clare my inspiration for doing so, Clare quickly suggests what plants would work and where, along with offering alternative approaches. 

I am exceptionally happy with the quality and creativity of the garden Clare and I managed to build together, and surprised by how much value has been created for the money spent. I definitely recommend using Clare for any gardening project.”
