“The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.”
— Alfred Austin
There are few pleasures more satisfying than shaping a garden into a place that truly belongs to you. A garden evolves gradually — a path that invites exploration, borders that change with the seasons, or a quiet corner where the evening sun lingers.
For some people gardening becomes a lifelong passion. For others it begins with a simple wish to improve a tired space or create somewhere more welcoming.
Wherever you are on that journey, Up The Garden Company is here to help.
Garden Design and Planting Plans for Real Gardens
Every garden has its own character. Soil conditions, sunlight, space and the way you wish to use your garden all influence what will work best.
Our garden design and planting plan service is designed to help you make the most of your garden space — whether it is a compact town garden, a family garden or a larger landscape waiting for structure and planting.
We can help with:
- garden design and layout planning
- border planting plans
- shrub borders and structural planting
- advice on the best plants for your garden conditions
- kitchen gardens and vegetable beds
- wildlife-friendly garden planting
- garden seating areas and focal features
Sometimes a garden needs only a small change — a carefully designed border or a refreshed planting scheme. At other times a complete garden layout plan can transform the space entirely.
Whatever the scale of your project, we aim to help you see the possibilities clearly and plan them with confidence.
A Garden Designed Around Your Life
The most successful gardens are not the most elaborate or expensive. They are the ones that feel natural to live with.
Your garden might become:
- a peaceful retreat filled with colour and fragrance
- a family garden with space to gather and relax
- a low-maintenance garden that remains full of interest
- a wildlife garden welcoming birds, bees and butterflies
- a productive garden with fruit, herbs and vegetables
Our garden planning service helps you shape a space that reflects how you want to use your garden.
With clear planting plans and garden layout drawings, you can easily carry out the work yourself or provide the plans to a local gardener or landscaper.
Thoughtful Planting Design
Planting is what gives a garden its character.
The right combination of trees, shrubs, perennials and seasonal plants can bring colour, structure and interest throughout the year — from early spring bulbs to autumn colour and winter form.
Our planting design service focuses on creating planting schemes that are both beautiful and practical, including:
- colour-coordinated flower borders
- shrub and perennial planting schemes
- pollinator-friendly planting for wildlife
- seasonal interest throughout the year
- low-maintenance planting combinations
Many gardens benefit from a clear planting plan, which shows exactly where each plant should be positioned to create balance and seasonal interest.
Each planting plan is created with careful attention to soil conditions, light and the natural character of your garden so that plants thrive rather than struggle.
A well-designed garden should feel effortless — though a great deal of thoughtful planning lies behind it.
Grow Your Own Garden Harvest
For many gardeners, one of the greatest pleasures is harvesting food grown in their own garden.
With thoughtful planning, gardens can include:
- fruit trees and orchard planting
- soft fruit such as raspberries and currants
- vegetable beds and kitchen gardens
- herb borders close to the house
- organic growing areas
Even modest spaces can produce generous harvests when they are planned carefully.
A well-designed kitchen garden can sit beautifully alongside ornamental planting, creating a garden that is both productive and visually appealing.
