Garden Design Guru

Garden Design Guru Gold medal winning Garden Design and Creation. We make ordinary spaces into extraordinary places. The latter garden featured on the BBC2 coverage from the show.

We design gardens to suit the people who own them and the location where they reside. Run by Barry Chambers, a fully registered Member of the Society of Garden Designers (MSGD), Garden Design Guru (formerly Changing Scenes) has won two Royal Horticultural Society 'Best in Show' awards at the Malvern Spring Show 2010 and the Hampton Court International Flower Show 2011. Garden Design Guru produces

gardens as varied as our clients but quite a few of them have some coastal influence, be it about sailing, sea spume, driftwood, breakwaters etc. This is never in a kitsch fashion though, always with originality and style as the Gold Medal and Vase from RHS Hampton Court show! Barrys style of design is often abstract but always practical and benefits from the fact he has built many of his designs with his own hands.

Some Digitalis ferruginea I grew from seed last year. There are several other longer term plants coming from the same two batches of seed coming along, such as a Rosa moyesii.

When it hasn’t been raining I have been completing a pergola structure to make full use of one of those small areas behind a clients garage. Each post has two beams on either side and the upper ones are half jointed into the lower ones. It’s quite a serious bit of construction all in all!

The posts are smooth landscaping posts with eased corners. They are sitting on custom made steel crosses one leaf of which is cut into the base and bolted in place. That way we get rusty post bases to match the steel beds.

This will be a shaded seating area with climbing plants on, facing back to the house. More images as we start planting. The pergola is finished but I haven’t taken pictures of tge whole thing yet.
