Jane Houghton Garden Design Studio

I first approached Jane last year, as the planting in our garden had over the years lost much of its original shape and design. There were a lot of gaps in the borders and I didn't know what to fill those with in order to bring back some sort of cohesion. I had a telephone chat with Jane in the first instance and then she came to see the garden. Jane was so friendly and approachable: she is obviously a plant expert herself but did not seem to mind my own lack of expertise at all. Her love of plants and planting design was plain to see. We talked together about what sort of final result I wanted and she made various suggestions. She kept all the existing plants, just moving some of them if necessary; she then sourced and planted all the new ones. The garden was transformed, back to its original glory, and we take such pleasure now in sitting in it and just enjoying all the plants. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Jane Houghton Garden Design Studio. I have already asked Jane back for a review following the garden's first winter, and I intend to have a review session with her every year. Thank you, Jane!

We have worked with Jane and her studio on a number of projects, bringing her vision to a reality on landscape builds. The clients are always thrilled with the outcome and Janes passion shines through with her attention to detail. Her plant knowledge is a particular strength and we are privileged to be working with such high quality designs. Thank you Jane, Landigo Ltd

We worked with Jane on a tropical garden for our new contemporary extension, Jane showed great passion and knowledge throughout the project and was very easy to work with. She understood what we wanted and quickly came up with a planting plan that was what we wanted. We would highly recommend Jane

Jane was approachable, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We discussed concepts I liked, things I didn't and she just got it! Jane came back with a really impressive first pass on a plan which ticked all the boxes and more. She was realistic on what we could expect to achieve for our budget and helpful for suggesting alternative options at more affordable prices.

Jane brought a lot of creativity to our garden design meeting our garden needs and situation. She was able to weave in to the design the aspects that brought the best out of the size and layout of the garden. Jane was always taking on our feedback and working it into the design. She was able to show us through the portfolio the ideas and how things would look. We would recommend Janes garden design services.

We engaged Jane to design a new garden overlooking the river and we are absolutely delighted with the result. Her plant knowledge and associated design talent are clearly evident in the finished product. We are looking forward to enjoying the space as it develops and matures over the next few years. Jane was an absolute pleasure to work with and very thoughtful in translating some of our wishes into her design to create this gorgeous new garden. We cannot recommend her more highly.
