How to make your garden looks stunning? How to manage the space so that every inch is well designed? I would like to hear about your difficulties and doubts when it comes to designing your garden or improving your garden design skills. I am a Garden Designer and I am doing research for university. When I started my journey I was litterally freaked out by finding the right design, or planting the right plants. With this research I hope to find the way to help people with similar problems and help them to avoid a lot of troubles! I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING!

How to create something that has the wow factor plus knowing what plants go together to create the space.

Re: Are you struggling with the design of your garden? 6Jul 19, 2016 10:57 pm Everything was difficult for me, I am not creative so I had a designer plan my garden. Once I decided on getting a designer I found it hard to work out who would be the right one for me. If you start a business can you please spend time and money and develop a good web site. Tell people what styles you do, what areas, your credentials and a bit about yourself. Pictures are very important. I know this will be hard if you're straight out of uni and any planning you've done may not have resulted in mature, established gardens that you could photograph. I wanted a designer and I expect there are a lot of good designers that could have designed my garden but I could not find them. Saying, all areas, all styles, large and small gardens is not helpful. A close up picture of 3 or 4 plants does not show that you are a designer. I saw some very good web sites that were specific and I was impressed but they weren't right for me. That is fine I didn't waste their time or mine barking up the wrong tree. If you want to help people, sell your self the best way you possibly can. Give people ideas.
