flùr garden design
Helen Chandler
garden designer
East Lothian based, operating throughout the Lothians and further afield
Most people who want to make changes to their garden contact a landscaper, but landscapers are not generally designers. At flùr garden design I want to work with you to explore the potential of your garden and create a design you love BEFORE you contact a landscaper.
Once you have a design you can then employ a landscaper who has the skills to turn your design into reality and make you a beautiful garden based on the design we have created. Or you might want to make the garden yourself.
bring your garden to life
I will make a space that is:
Alive to your senses
with plants you want to smell, surfaces and plants you want to touch, areas that draw your eye and possibly plants you can taste. It will inspire you to get out into your garden.
Vibrant
with an imaginative design using shape, colour, texture, interesting features and the right choice of materials/planting. It will be a space you want to sit, relax, eat, look, grow, share with others, or just have a wander around with a cup of tea to see what is happening. As well as beautiful I will make it practical and easy to use.
Full of life
where birds , butterflies, bees and other insects thrive. A living garden with flowers, colour and interest throughout the year. You can have a beautifully designed garden that is also friendly for wildlife.

And Respects life
I aim to use materials that are ethically sourced and are as sustainable as possible, so as not to impact negatively on life elsewhere when breathing new life into your garden.
