I'm a garden designer based in Beckenham, South London.

I work with clients who love their homes and want to enjoy their outside space.

I offer:

  • full garden redesign

  • planting

  • a balcony & terrace service (container planting)

  • consultations, for those who want to take a project forward themselves but want help getting started.

 

Think of a beautiful garden you've visited. What made it feel so special?

You can have that feeling in your own home.

Plants, great materials and imaginative design make all the difference. 

To start making memories in your own beautiful garden, get in touch with me.

I'm based in Beckenham (SE London) and work mainly in:

Areas surrounding Beckenham - including Penge, Bromley, Bickley, Chislehurst, Croydon, Warlingham and Woldingham.

Central and South London - all areas including Dulwich, Peckham, Sydenham, Honor Oak, Lewisham & Streatham.

Kent including Sevenoaks, Westerham & Orpington.

Garden design

P2 Overhead view 21 April_edited.jpg

I take on projects of all sizes. The smallest courtyards and balconies. Back gardens and front driveways. Larger rural sites and commercial projects. 

Talk to me if you consider your site difficult to develop - more shade than sun; a steep slope; overlooked by neighbours? I love a challenge and can find ways to unlock your garden's potential.

Consultation

WhatsApp Image 2025-04-23 at 14.22.13_2d122488.jpg

I offer a fixed price ​consultation for £245. This includes a site visit and discussion with you, followed by detailed advice, tailored to you and your garden. 

Fresh ideas which you can implement yourself.

If you then opt for my full design service, your consultation fee will be deducted.

Planting design

Bring some magic to your garden by replanting a border or the whole plot.

We'll discuss your needs and you'll receive a planting plan, unique to your garden or bed.

Your plants will be sourced from trusted nurseries and planted for you.

You'll receive a care guide and I can put you in touch with local gardeners to help maintain your plants.

Balcony & terrace service

WhatsApp Image 2024-08-05 at 18.58.13_b875a879.jpg

A comprehensive service for busy people who want to enjoy a beautiful balcony but lack the time to find the right plants, containers, soils, furniture etc.
 

We'll agree a design - plants and pots. A sketch can be helpful in showing you how it'll look. Furniture and lighting can be arranged too.
 

I arrange all the planting and provide an easy-to-follow care guide. After that, you can start enjoying your balcony garden.

 

Perfect for renters - take your garden with you when you move.

Get in touch to arrange a seasonal wreath-making workshop with clients, colleagues or friends.

"Sonya's work was fantastic, she understood exactly what I wanted for my small outdoor balcony space.
 
She designed and set everything up, with real sensitivity for the space and for my limited knowledge and experience.
 
She was really flexible and organised deliveries and set-up around my availability, and showed great care for each plant she chose and arranged.
 
She also followed up with a detailed care guide and made herself available for the ton of questions I had as I was learning how to look after the plants.
 
She's creative, thoughtful and prompt and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her work."

Maria, Kennington
