If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of designing your garden or unsure where to start, this story might be just what you need to spark some inspiration.
Let me tell you about Helena. She had an incredible east-facing property—a whole hectare around her summer cottage—with a stunning shoreline, wooded edges, and so much potential. But with such an ample space, she wasn’t sure how to organize everything into a cohesive plan.
Following these steps, Helena’s Garden Design went from a loose idea to a finished garden. You can also create a garden that feels as effortless as it is beautiful.
Needs and dreams
When Helena reached out to me, we decided to tackle her Garden Design online. This flexible approach allowed us to collaborate deeply, even though we weren’t in the same location.
She shared with me her expectations for the Garden Design, her preferences, and her dreams and ideas. Before beginning any design work, it is essential to know what you need and want from your outdoor space. Knowing what you like and how you want to spend your time in the Garden Design is a solid starting point. Also, knowing any possible restrictions is vital.
