DESIGNING AND CREATING A COASTAL GARDEN

We have been working on the south coast of England since 2001 and are delighted to announce that we have written a book about designing and creating coastal gardens. It was published by The Crowood Press in January 2023 and is available from online retailers, local bookshops or directly from the publishers (click here).

The seaside can be a stunning setting for a garden, but it can be difficult to find plants that will thrive. Salt-laden winds make the careful selection of plants and landscaping materials vital. Our book provides a step-by-step process, as used by professional garden designers, that will help you design, build and plant a beautiful, sustainable and successful garden in these conditions.

Designing and Creating a Coastal Garden shows how, beginner or experienced, you can design a garden that will work practically, beautifully and harmoniously with a seaside setting. Detailed advice is given on what plants and what landscaping materials work best on the coast, as well as horticultural techniques and sample planting plans. We also go into detail about how to create habitats and encourage wildlife in a garden. Whatever the scale of your project, from improving a tiny corner to a major whole-garden restyle, this book will help you create a wonderful garden by the sea.
