Sabina Edwards Landscape Design

Design Philosophy

There are many different types of gardens from the formal and minimalist lines of the modern chic to the rambling beauty of the Victorian country garden.  I believe that there are qualities of design in all these styles and I endeavour to provide innovation and style, balanced with sensitivity and empathy, to all my designs. 

Usually limited in space and, therefore, needing to be multi-functional, a well-planned, cleverly-designed space can comprise aesthetic, functional, and recreational uses whether it is to be set aside for the display, cultivation and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature or whether it is to be based around man-made materials.  However, it can also incorporate both these elements in an imaginative and creative way to bring a fresh pulse to the space. 

Building upon a foundation of sound horticultural knowledge with a deeply-felt respect for ecology and conservation, I am able to bring analytical, visual and spatial skills to effectively interpret, both aesthetically and technically, the hopes and wishes of the client to transform and unify their personal greenspace.

Situated near Billingshurst in West Sussex, I undertake commissions in garden design and landscape design in London and South East England, including  Kent, Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex and East Sussex. 

Professional Background

I have worked as a professional gardener and horticulturist for the past 9 years during which time, and after three years study, I obtained the RHS Diploma in Horticulture. 

After a further two years study I gained the Advanced National Certificate in Horticulture (Landscape & Garden  Design)  gaining distinction in all modules.
