Gardens by Design
Welcome to HJC Designs, where garden designs are tailored to create tranquil, sustainable environments that harmonize with natural landscapes.
Carefully blending aesthetics with functionality, designs are crafted with you and nature in mind. Considering height of borders or the need for seats or benches in order to allow you to maintain the garden with ease, ensures your garden is built for your needs.
A holistic design approach that considers natural geometry to create garden spaces that rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul. Through artful arrangements and eco-conscious practices, she brings your garden dreams to life.
Using permaculture principles to influence designs ensures that they're planned with the seasons and long-term future in mind, making them easy to manage and beautiful year after year.
Helen has a natural talent for incorporating beautiful organic homegrown food and herbal remedies into a garden giving you an apothecary in your own back garden!
CAD Design
Helen uses CAD Design so that you can explore your garden from different viewing angles in 3 dimensions before it is completed. The program will allow you to see the sun aspects throughout the year and demo the feel of your newly designed space so you can truely see what your final design will look like.
Natural Sanctuaries
Helen's Portfolio includes a range of garden designs from making the most of new build "box" gardens, repurposing or stylising larger gardens, Moon-plant sensory gardens, secret garden spaces and playful and safe areas for children and pets.
With great experience in growing food organically, Helen has also provided many veg bed plans which provide a 3-5 year crop rotation and companion planting which can literally be used for life! You'll never have to think about spacing or what goes where again!
Helen can also help you to creating a permaculture garden, whether small or over several acres, which could include animal housing and rotation, Polytunnels or Walipini pits!
With so much experience, there is no limit to what could be imagined in your outside space!
