What our customers are saying

Jude did an incredible job with our garden design and overall project management. She listened to what we wanted, worked with our budget and delivered a garden that has surpassed our expectations. Her attention to detail and understanding of our woodland garden were second to none, resulting in a sympathetic design that feels as though it has always been there. We have a lot of shaded areas in the garden but she somehow managed to create a garden full of beautiful flowers and colour - something I never thought we’d have. She has great contacts in the industry and worked hard behind the scenes to make sure the whole thing went smoothly. Jude is also just a lovely person to work with - I’d highly recommend her to anybody looking to create a new garden.

Claire Osman, Woking

Emily helped us transform our garden from an unloved mess to a space that gives us great pleasure throughout the year. She listened to what we wanted and then helped us every step of the way, with designs, planting plans, appointing a contractor and sourcing the plants. We can't thank her enough for her inspiration and advice and continue to be delighted with our garden.

Angela Wood, Godalming

I'm absolutely delighted with my garden design! All through the process they listened to everything I wanted and consulted with me on a few inevitable changes we made along the way. Jude (my designer) kept in touch with me about various plant decisions so we could decide together what was best, FaceTiming me from the nursery! The whole project was a collaborative effort between Inspired Earth, my landscaper and myself - and it's been obvious how valuable that has been. And good fun! I wanted the expertise of a designer with deep horticultural knowledge and an understanding of how different spaces work so that I didn't end up with a 'vanilla' garden. In my humble opinion, landscapers are the builders but I wanted the architect first. I like the way Inspired Earth gave me the choice of a three stage process and I decided to go for all three stages, including all of the plants and trees being planted by them. I've now got Japanese Maples, colour and interest all year round, a beautiful water feature and a pergola walkway with three different spaces to sit and enjoy it all- what's not to love! My little garden has been transformed and I can't wait to see it flourish and develop. A few pics here but they really don't do it full justice... I would not hesitate to recommend this company- invest and you won't regret it:)

Erica Gee, Billingshurst

Judith prepared a planting plan for my garden, she listened carefully to discern the sort of plants that I love, she took all my preference on board and prepared a beautiful design, which I know will bring us pleasure for many years to come. She was a joy to work with, highly recommend.
