The blog of Ann-Marie Powell, a UK garden designer. Useful for gardeners interested in garden design and planting.
Garden design and planting ideas from a professional designer.
The private residential page covers home gardens the studio designs. It invites visitors to contact the studio about a project and says the work runs across Hampshire, the UK and worldwide.
Visit linkThe historic spaces page covers renovating and redesigning old gardens and landscapes around houses, estates and monuments in the UK. The studio's other commission pages cover private, hotel and commercial work.
Visit linkThe hotel and spa page covers grounds for hotels, from formal mansion-house gardens to barefoot luxury retreats, in the UK and overseas. It is one of several commission types listed on the site, alongside private, commercial and historic work.
Visit linkThe blog reads as a designer's working record. Posts follow named commissions, including the grounds the studio designed at Sopwell House, a family-run hotel that reopened after lockdown, and the Chelsea Flower Show gardens from 2010, 2011 and 2016. Practical pieces sit beside them, including a question-and-answer on autumn bulb planting and a post on planting plans for RHS Wisley. The result is show-garden history and planting advice from one designer, rather than general garden news.
