Bo Cook Landscape & Garden Design is based in East Sussex, working across Lewes, the South Downs, and the wider South East on ecological, site-responsive garden and landscape projects. 

Bo Cook Landscape & Garden Design is a UK-based landscape and garden design practice creating
ecological, site-responsive gardens rooted in instinct, intuition, and immersion. Led by Bo Cook, the
studio takes a thoughtful, collaborative approach, working closely with clients, architects, and
specialist teams, and using naturalistic planting and sustainable design principles to shape calm,
meaningful outdoor spaces. Each project begins with careful listening and observation, allowing the
character of the site to guide the design and supporting both human use and wider ecology. Gardensare designed to evolve gently over time, with long-term stewardship, clarity, and care at the heart of
the practice.

What our customers are saying

We selected Bo Cook based on outstanding feedback from her other clients. To say my expectations have been surpassed is such an understatement. Bo had a vision that she transposed from our ideas and created a design that has resulted in a transformation that is hard to comprehend. Bo worked brilliantly with Arun Landscapes and it was that collaboration that resulted in a vision that became a stunning reality.

David B, Near Shipley, West Sussex

Hi Bo, just wanted to say ‘I love ❤️ my garden 🪴 thank you. Every time I walk through my hallway or go down the stairs it just takes my breath away, how lovely it looks and how it makes us feel happy 😊! Just wanted to share that with you and I know M feels the same.

Shirin D, Brighton

Bo is a very professional, knowledgeable and talented garden designer. From a contractor’s point of view her CAD plans are clear and accurate and she is helpful at every stage of the build, always happy to visit site and ensure the smooth running of the project. We really like building her projects.
