Jane Hamel Garden Design

Gardens can provide a place of escape, retreat and relaxation through which we re-charge and unwind; they can also provide a sociable place for entertaining and nurturing family relationships. Contact with green spaces has been shown to be beneficial to our well-being. A properly designed garden will meet all these needs and more – it can be an oasis of calm and abuzz with life. It will enhance your quality of life and add value to your property. I aim to provide you with a unique space perfectly matched to your needs, your property and your wider environment. Whether you have plenty of time and resources to spend on maintenance or very little, whether you are in retirement, a young couple with a family, or on your own, I will listen carefully to your needs, tastes, preferences and design a beautiful, and practical garden individually tailored to suit your requirements.
