The Green Garden
About the project
From new build plot to immersive green garden
This garden design transformed a blank new build plot into a private green retreat with year round interest. The planting design focuses on texture and movement, with layers of foliage in varied shades of green and accents of white flowers for contrast. From the lounge, the view now opens onto a calm, natural garden that brings softness and privacy to the space throughout the seasons.
The design combines simple structure with rich planting detail to create a quiet and inviting atmosphere. A curved bench offers a place to sit within the garden and enjoy the changing light, planting and wildlife up close, a peaceful space that feels both modern and timeless.
After being shared on Instagram, this project reached an audience of more than two million viewers. Its popularity reflected a wider appreciation for natural, layered planting and the idea of creating green spaces that feel both restorative and attainable.
“Our garden’s gone from plain grass to a beautiful private space. We absolutely love it! Carly’s design has completely transformed the space.”
