Wren Alderly

Garden Designer & Planting Specialist

I draw gardens that are honest about their soil, their light and how much time you actually have for them.

What I take on

Measured plans for courtyards, town gardens and small country plots — levels, paths, beds and planting, drawn so they can be built from.

Season-by-season lists chosen for your aspect and soil, with a note on what each plant wants from you and when.

Bringing neglected beds, overgrown hedging and worn paths back into working order without starting from bare ground.

Walk-and-talk sessions in your own garden for owners who would rather learn the decisions than hand them over.

Trained at the Wend Valley School of Horticulture. Ten seasons of working gardens before I drew a single plan.
