"When we were planning to redesign our garden we were unsure whether to use a garden designer. Someone recommended Rebecca to us and we are very glad that they did. From the first contact we got on well with Rebecca. She listened to what we wanted and produced an amazingly detailed plan that reflected exactly what we wanted with a lot of very useful advice. We would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca and would certainly use her services again"

— Stephen, owner of the Wildlife Garden

"Although I had an idea about how I wanted my garden to look, I decided to contact Rebecca because I wanted advice on the planting and I wanted to be more sustainable and enhance biodiversity in my small space. Rebecca’s design is so much better than what I was originally planning and makes much more effective use of the space. I feel that Rebecca really listened to me. I love my new garden and am excited to see how it develops as the plants continue to grow over the next few years. I would highly recommend Rebecca Read garden design"

"Rebecca worked with us right from the start on the design of our new build garden. She took time to understand our vision for the planting and use of the space to develop a detailed and clear plan. The garden is north facing and not without its challenges, but using her design we have been able to create a sheltered naturalistic oasis. Only 1 month in from planting the garden is already looking lush and verdant. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending Rebecca!"

"It's amazing, the 3D model is particularly cool"

"I had a 'tricky' area, shaded by trees, poor soil and susceptible to wildlife. Rebecca helpfully suggested a 'planting plan' based on planting cyclamen corms, which are less attractive to rabbits, and some ornamental grasses. Work in progress as we speak but I look forward to the result. Friendly, helpful and professional advice! Thank you"
