We are proud to be Yorkshire’s only qualified biophilic garden design consultancy, integrating nature-led principles to support mental and physical wellbeing. Our planting schemes and outdoor spaces are not only visually stunning but also intentionally crafted to reduce stress, improve focus, and promote calm.

If you’re looking for a professional garden designer in Harrogate to create a space that draws you in and makes you want to stay, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.
In our environmentally conscious times, there is a greater demand than ever for functional, well designed outdoor spaces. When you consider some of the advantages a useable, attractive garden can offer, this is hardly surprising. It has been proven that being in nature or even viewing scenes of nature can reduce anger, fear and stress and increase pleasant feelings. Physical wellbeing is also positively affected, with some of the benefits possible being a reduced heart rate and blood pressure and a lower production of stress hormones.
