The Team

Our team consists of both garden designers and landscape architects, with specialist external consultants when required.

Joe Perkins
BA(Hons) English Lit, MA Landscape Architecture, PGDip Garden Design

To date his career has included wide-ranging experience in landscape construction and design, and has involved living in the UK, Southern France, and Spain.

Joe has 25 years of design experience, 10 years as the manager of a respected landscape construction company and 15 years of involvement in planning and delivering gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show and other RHS shows. Most recently he achieved 2 gold medals for his designs at the Chelsea Flower Show and the award for Horticultural Excellence at the Shenzhen Flower Show in 2023.
His qualifications include a post-graduate diploma in residential garden design and a Masters degree in landscape architecture. As a Registered Member of the Society of Garden Designers (MSGD), a qualified Garden Designer and Landscape Architect, Joe brings years of experience and formal training to every commission. His experience in design, project management and construction allows him to have an overview of any project from multiple angles.

Joe has written for various garden media publications and is a member of the editorial committee for the Garden Design Journal. He has also been a visiting lecturer for the London College of Garden Design. He is available for talks both in the U.K. and abroad. Joe loves to travel which is a great source of inspiration for his designs. He also speaks Spanish and French which helps when working with clients internationally.

“I grew up in the countryside and have always loved the great outdoors and nature. I am fascinated by plants. As much as I have always loved to design, draw and build, it is the limitless creative possibilities plants provide which makes my job so rewarding.
I don’t have a fixed style and I don’t follow fashions. I’m equally comfortable designing a large traditional country garden as a contemporary urban roof terrace or a multi-use public space.
My style is dictated by the setting, the architecture in that setting and the client brief. Variety makes my work interesting and exciting and I love the challenge each new project brings. One thing all my projects have in common is the ambition to deliver to the client a garden that exceeds all their expectations”.
