Amanda Brown – Landscape and Garden Design was established in 1997 and is based in a studio in Hertford which is well situated to cover London and the south-east. Amanda was the designer of the medal winning ‘Total Eclipse of the Sun’ Garden at the 1999 Chelsea Flower Show.

Our team works on gardens ranging from small, urban front gardens, up to parts of large country estates.

Projects undertaken in 2005 include:

• a large family garden set in a village, with an informal shaped swimming pool and deep borders planted with low maintenance trees, shrubs and bold sweeps of grasses.
  
  
• a formal, country garden set on the banks of a river, with borders designed with colour in mind, a vegetable garden, parterre and summer house for painting.
  
  
• a low-maintenance, sloping front garden, designed around a mature magnolia.
  
  
• bold, sweeps of mixed planting transform a former field into a country garden with a large pond. A timber board-walk leading to an island seating area.
  
  
• a small, suburban garden suitable for a young, growing family with a quiet seating area capturing the evening sun.
  
  
• a planting scheme for a large garden with areas under trees and along a river bank.
  
  
• a neat, modern design for a working couple with an interest in gardening but limited time.
  
  
• four roof terraces forming the outdoor spaces of a London penthouse using stainless steel and resin-bonded gravel for maximum impact in a small space.
