We have a narrow sloping back garden and didn’t have a clue how to manage it. We wanted to be able to enjoy the space, eating outside whenever possible. We didn’t want project management landscaping as we were asked to project up front what we planned to spend and we didn’t know costs nor needs. I wanted to have design ideas and planting knowledge and then take each garden section slowly buying in materials and plants when sales, bargains and workforce allowed. This way we could work slowly in our own time towards our goal. I am so glad that we found Jennifer as she gave us just that and more. We have lovely landscaping ideas we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves and beautiful planting ideas and swaps that can be made amongst the plants. Jennifer asked so much detail about us and what we hoped to achieve, developed a beautiful garden plan for this space that blended in so well with our surroundings and the planting, lighting and water features were thoughtfully included and detailed too. We have begun our changes and can’t wait to see it finished.

We recently landed a fantastic project to transform an open space at Pembroke Power Station into a staff wellbeing garden with a resin finish. Finding the perfect architect and garden designer initially proved challenging. Fortunately, discovering Jennifer Mitchell, the "Hortitectural Consultant and Garden Designer", was a game-changer. Jennifer's professional and clean design approach significantly streamlined our work. We can't express our gratitude enough for the exceptional work she delivered. Thank you for your invaluable assistance, Jennifer! Highly recommended.

It's been a little while since you produced your fabulous design for my back garden - but I wanted to get in touch to say that as of Saturday the first phase of the implementation was completed by a local landscaper and I am absolutely thrilled with it! You'll see we made a few tweaks from the original design: to use porcelain tiles instead of resin, to retain a second grass area and to extend the radial pavers all the way around this. Your design has completely transformed the footprint of my awkwardly-shaped garden to the point where its awkwardness is no longer even a consideration - I cannot wait to begin planting the new beds! I've watched so many of those garden make-over programs and dreamed of having my own wow garden - and now I have it! I can't pass by the window without feeling mesmerised by the scale of the transformation! Thank you again so much for coming up with such a wonderful design!

Jennifer listened to our ideas for an Asian-influenced, contemporary garden to propose a wonderful design and planting plan.

Wooow that is such a cool garden! I would totally use that as inspiration for my own garden. It's really amazing! So cool how you can take an idea and turn it into a garden concept! I would be honored to have the name Neomachi on this beautiful garden concept. It's like art!

We are in the process of extending the back of our house which will take up some of the back garden and we were looking for someone with fresh ideas on redesigning our garden when we came across Jennifer’s website. We are very pleased with the concept and planting plan Jennifer has designed. We provided Jennifer with photos of our garden together with a brief of things we wanted to include and had an initial call to discuss these and our vision. Although there were a lot of things we wanted to include for the size of the garden Jennifer managed to include all of these in the initial concept plan especially a Palm tree we wanted to keep which needed to be moved due to the house extending. We had another call with Jennifer where we were able to talk through the initial concept plan and make a few adjustments. Jennifer then provided a revised concept plan as well as a planting plan. We would highly recommend Jennifer for your garden design.

I was looking online at garden designers and fortunately came across Jennifer. We have a large sloped area which has never really had any attention but decided it needed revamped. Once I had steps and retaining walls added I realised I was unsure of a proper planting scheme to complete it. The online process with Jen was so smooth from start to finish with excellent communication. I chose Jen as we live in the country and wanted to keep things wildlife friendly which is part of her vision. Her plans are very detailed and easy to follow with some great ideas and ultimately will probably save me money and keep me focused. Cannot wait to see it all planted up in the spring. Can highly recommend Jennifer.

I was little apprehensive about using an online garden designer, especially since I had only very vague ideas of what I wanted and quite a tight budget for such large outdoor space. I needn’t have worried; Jen has been great from start to finish. She explained her process very clearly and helped me to provide enough information for her to design the initial concept plan. After a couple of very minor tweaks to the plan Jen sent through the final layout and planting plan. I absolutely love the design; Jen has not only done an amazing job of incorporating the features that I wanted into a stunning design that is both beautiful and flexible, but by cleverly using reclaimed and repurposed objects Jen has ensured that the cost of the project remains within my budget. Jen was even kind enough to advise me on the best way to proceed with executing the design, as it will mostly be carried out by myself with only limited input from contractors. I’d 100% recommend Jen to anyone seeking a bespoke garden design.

By good luck, we found Jennifer’s website while looking for inspiration for the garden in our new home. We loved the designs in her portfolio and were delighted to find out that she provides an e-design service. Jennifer recommended that she do both a concept design and layout plan for us which worked well as this gave us an opportunity to feedback on the overall design of the garden before the planting plan was prepared. Our aspiration was for a country style garden with a distinctly modern twist to reflect our house. Jennifer fully met our exacting brief with a wonderful, clever design which includes planting that is perfect for us and lovely, fresh ideas and features that we would never have thought of or found on our own. Simply, we adore Jennifer’s plan for our new garden.

We live in the very far south west of Cornwall so getting a design for our small garden was quite a challenge. I decided to search for a remote designer online and fortunately for us I found Jennifer Mitchell. From the start to the finish we were delighted with Jenni and the whole process. We were able to communicate our wishes which she took on board and came back to us with a beautiful, detailed design with a lovely planting scheme and water feature. My husband and I are really looking forward to getting it started very soon.

We are really happy that we found Jennifer online. Jennifer has provided a professional, thoughtful, and thorough service throughout the design process. She has considered all aspects of our current garden and our wants and hopes for our new one. She has kept our budget in mind, and provided a design plan that we can build on over time, and adjustments that we can make as our young family grows. She has also responded quickly and helpfully to any queries we have sent. We absolutely love our final design and planting plan and can't wait to get started! Thank you Jennifer, we will be recommending you highly to friends and family. You are very talented and we really appreciate all of your hard work.

I came across Jennifer online and decided to use her after reading the countless positive reviews. She listened to all of my ideas and designed a plan that fits in with exactly what I wanted. The process was very simple and I'm very impressed with the garden design she had made for me. Overall, I'm very happy and would 100% recommend her work.

After moving into our new home with a rather large but plain garden, I knew I needed some professional help to get it looking how I wanted. After speaking with Jen, I was confident that she could help bring our different thoughts and ideas into a design that would flow perfectly. I was curious as to what the finished result would be considering Jen had never seen our garden in person but she got it absolutely spot on. The plans incorporate everything that we asked for along with a detailed planting plan that Jen has clearly put some time and effort into. I'd highly recommend Jen to anyone who is wanting to transform their garden.

I wasn’t sure where to start with the garden when we moved in a year ago. Many years ago it been a lovely garden but was far beyond recovery and needed new life and inspiration breathing back into it. I was so glad when I found Jen online and we began the journey to create a very special garden for the future as well as for us now. Jen created a garden design that incorporates many wildlife features and plants that will work so well. Ideas that I couldn’t have come up with and really love. Her attention to detail and knowledge of plants shows in her designs. Thank you Jen for creating a wonderful garden for us.

I can’t recommend Jen enough she has provided a perfect design that will work well for my family. She added everything I asked for and made the whole space useable and designed a beautiful garden making the most of every space. Jen answered all my questions from my initial enquiry right through the design stage. Jen has totally transformed how I thought of the garden from a small awkward space to an interesting design with good flow and usability. We can’t wait to start bringing it to life. Highly recommended!

Jennifer was able to intuitively capture my vision and concept for a small courtyard design loosely based on a mediterranean courtyard. It is a project I plan to carry out myself on a small budget in as much as possible and she was mindful of that, while the location is challenging being "in between areas" and on a slope, and she managed to give this space a beautiful, naturalistic yet modern and elegant layout by using the space vertically as well as horizontally, giving it structure, privacy and year round interest. I really love the design she created, and the easy communication we had during the project. I would highly recommend Jennifer's services.

I messaged Jen after seeing her beautiful designs online. I was apprehensive before we spoke because I had a million ideas and no idea how to incorporate them into a real life garden. I knew what I wanted my garden to 'feel' like but I didn't know where to start. After a couple of emails we spoke on the phone and Jen totally got what I was looking for. I was so excited to receive my concept design, it met everything on my wish list, along with some extra bits that Jen knew would fit in perfectly. It really is a work of art in itself. Jen has been very quick and thorough in responding to any questions I've had since receiving the plans. I'm really excited to start making the plan into a reality. I would totally recommend Jen to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space.

I found Jen online and was impressed with the quality of her work, the reviews she’d received and the value for money. Jen was very easy to work with and despite me thinking I had a million and one different requests for her to consider, she completely took it in her stride and designed something beautiful. It not only ticked all the boxes from a practical perspective, but created a gorgeous design that I could never have dreamt of thinking of myself. I’m really excited to be able to start working on the garden bit by bit and look forward to the day it all comes to life!

Jen has created a wonderful space which infuses a colourful and wildlife friendly environment together with one that is practical and flexible which will be able to adapt as our family grows and requirements change. We are really looking forward to transforming the design into reality and enjoying the new space.

I came across Jennifer when searching for a garden designer for our new house - we wanted something warm and inviting but low maintenance. I emailed Jen and sent some drawings and photos of what we liked, and some of the elements that we wanted in our garden and to say she delivered is an understatement. It is difficult, to find professionals who do as they say, and all along this process, I have found that if Jen says she will send something on Friday, it arrives on Friday - it is so refreshing. We are delighted with our garden plan and we can’t wait to be at a stage where we can see it in place and enjoy the outdoor areas she has created. I would recommend Jen to anyone, who wants a wow garden but doesn’t know where to start or how to put it together.

We have really enjoyed the creative process of working with Jennifer on our garden designs. Much of the information we gave about what we wanted seemed to us to be contradictory, broad, and vague. However, this became more tangible as we focused in on this, responding to questions, taking photos of our garden areas and paying more attention to what felt good and right to us. We were inspired by Jennifer’s philosophy and approach when we first found the website and continued to be so through the process. It feels like a beginning of learning more, making changes and living differently. We are amazed by the designs. We really didn’t know what to expect and seeing the designs feels like having something of ourselves and our relationship to the world - for each of us and both of us together - discovered, understood, and mirrored. It is an integrating experience. We would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone considering a garden design, including for small spaces like ours.

Jennifer is truly gifted with a creative talent that turns visions into reality with ease and professionalism - a true delight to work with. Jennifer transformed my home in the most incredible way, exceeding all my expectations and I am confident she will do the same for YOU. Words simply can’t describe her designs, they must be experienced! Hire Jennifer today, it’s a decision you will not regret!!

Jen is an intuitive designer who really understands garden design. I was really pleased with our final layout design and planting plan and Jen really knew what I wanted. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a holistic approach to their garden.

I have found working with Jennifer very easy. She listened to what I wanted to achieve and has prepared a beautiful garden design for me to implement. I had reservations about using a designer remotely but Jennifer has proven this is more than possible. Jennifer uses plants and materials that enhance the natural environment and is careful to ensure all the plant species she uses are beneficial to pollinators and wildlife in general. It was her focus on nature that drew me to use Jennifer and she has more than lived up to my expectations. I would not hesitate to use her again should I ever need a garden designer in the future.

Jennifer quickly understood our needs to produce a concept that was really exciting. The concept helped us to visualise the space and better understand our needs. As a result we were then able to feedback some edits to the design which Jennifer took onboard and adjusted. The final design is practical, making good use of the space whilst being fresh and interesting. The planting plan is particularly helpful and we can't wait to get started with the work! Thanks Jennifer.

We approached Jennifer during lockdown to create a design for our garden. The way she had thought out the whole process of doing it all online was brilliant. The method of getting the information she required from us was logical and easy to supply. What she was able to create from the meagre amount of information we gave her was amazing. My wife and I are not gardeners but from her clear design drawings and planting layout we feel confident we shall have a garden to be proud of. Well done Jennifer!!

Jennifer is an exceptional talent, she captured and delivered exactly what I wanted in a professional but very personable manner. I am so delighted I decided to work with Jennifer, and how easy, efficient and enjoyable it was creating my dream garden. Truly 5 stars, highly recommended. I love my new garden space and I'm confident you will love what Jennifer designs for you too. You won’t be disappointed!

I loved working with Jennifer. She took a host of scrambled ideas and organised it into a beautiful, creative design that exceeded my expectations. She was professional, courteous and reliable throughout. Her depth of knowledge made me feel I was in safe hands. It is evident her plan is unique to me and my space. Thank you Jen, - this period working with you has genuinely been a highlight!

Jennifer listened carefully to our wishes and took on board our vision to re-design our not particularly straightforward garden. She was able to incorporate all our requirements, whilst also respecting and researching the history of the house and it’s surroundings. It was refreshing that although there will, undoubtedly, be costs involved in redesigning the garden, Jen appreciated we wanted to be involved in its re-invention and it will be possible for us to do some of the work and, more importantly, it will be manageable for us to maintain and enjoy. Jen’s communication was excellent throughout and she was more than willing to adjust her ideas as the design evolved.

What an incredible garden/green spaces designer! Had the pleasure of working with her in collaboration on an eco-conscious city design, and she was incredible. Always insightful, creative and resourceful. A well-spring of knowledge and expertise in her field. Cannot recommend her highly enough, you will not be anything other than ecstatically inspired by what she brings to your project.

Jenny was absolutely fantastic! I did not really know what kind of design I wanted as I do not have the "eye" for things like this. However, with the limited information I provided Jenny put together the most amazing design! I am really happy with the outcome and would highly recommend her work! Thank you.

Jen is an awesome garden designer. With not very much information to go on, Jen designed a great garden design for us. She worked to the constraints of the plot and has given us a great starting point. I feel confident that we can follow the design and have a garden that suits our needs. She was particularly helpful as we want to encourage a wide variety of wildlife and having the right plants is key.
