ABOUT US

We've been creating award-winning private and public gardens, of all shapes and sizes, since 2006.

Since the very beginning, the ultimate aim for each project has been to create an emotional connection between our clients and their gardens. We achieve this by encouraging a collaborative dynamic between ourselves and the client to ensure that their brief has been pushed to its full potential. The result is gardens that endure and improve with age.

We believe that a successful design emphasises the delicate balance between man and nature. In doing so, the garden dramatises the tension between our environment, human beings and culture in a way that makes the designed landscape one of the most relevant artistic mediums today.

“I’d go straight to Adolfo Harrison. His private, mostly urban gardens are stunning, practical but very glamorous: great places to relax outside surrounded by life enhancing plants”
Francine Raymond, The Daily Telegraph
