Helen Kenyon Design - To provide a professional and personal service for the creation of innovative and affordable gardens for all. Services offered include garden design, planting design, full project management, garden renovation and maintenance. Qualifications - BSc, Dip. Garden Design (Hons), RHS General Certificate in Horticulture Area based - Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset and Hampshire Most exciting garden designed - Two come to mind. A modern roof terrace garden at the BBC centre in White City, London where the budget was tight and the need for creativity high and a large country garden in Cape Town, South Africa where I was able to use spectacular native plants that I had only seen surviving in glass houses before.
Is there a plant that seems to be consistently used in your designs? - I strive to make every garden unique and often do so by selecting plants that are just a little bit different. How do your clients cope with looking after their garden once you and your team have left? - Like many other garden designers, I leave written instructions where needed. I also happily revisit for a follow up chat. In the first place though, making sure the garden fits the lifestyle and horticultural ambitions of the client is very important not least to ensure both a happy client and healthy garden in the future. What is the average time scale for a typical garden? - 2 to 4 weeks on average for City and Town gardens, longer for larger country residences. Advice to would be designers - Never stop learning, be this from others in the industry, garden visits or additional courses. You can never know enough!
