What can you do with a garden that is only 4 metre deep? We returned to our clients in Melbourne, Derbyshire this week, whose garden is just like that.
We were able to create them a family garden in a tight space by turning the design sideways.

South Normanton Garden Transformation | Lush Garden Design
In our latest garden design in South Normanton, Derbyshire, we created a contemporary design to complement a modern house extension, creating useable outdoor living spaces and improved views.
Just added to our portfolio: A South Normanton garden that went from "meh" to magnificent!
When our clients extended their home, they realised their garden wasn't quite living up to the new views. Two years later, it's a completely different story.

Lush Garden Design founder Anna Barker presenting a smide show to the ScreenPop Derby networking group. The title of the talk is “Total Garden Transformations”
Had a nice morning presenting our work to a local business network. Been a long time since I went business networking, so it was a bit daunting, but everyone seemed to like the designs.
