Woods Garden Design

Woods Garden Design Professional garden design and gardening services with a personal touch, based in Medway. Woods Garden Design focuses on making the process easy but tailored.

Keep in touch via on Instagram or WhatsApp me for a chat! A FREE initial online survey helps Melissa to build a picture before fine tuning at the digital/in-person consultation. With several very different garden spaces of her own, Mel keeps an eye on garden design trends and is not stuck in a design rut or “signature style”, so she’ll guide you through various schemas to bring

you a vision of your own bespoke space to love! Standard turnaround for HAND DRAWN scale drawing packages is 4 weeks from initial consultation. Client budget and/or timeframe for completion is always factored in. Mel can usually recommend *tradespeople if required and will work with them to ensure your dream garden is achieved. Local gardening services include mowing, weeding, watering, pruning, planting, plant care, hedge cutting etc. Available in Medway only.









*Plans are made in good faith but it is recommended that the client checks their property deeds, local authority planning rules and, if relevant, seeks advice from a construction engineer before undertaking any major landscaping or construction works. It is the client’s responsibility to advise the designer of known structural or drainage issues, etc, which may affect the efficacy of the design. In many cases, the designer will be able to offer modifications for the client to discuss with their chosen landscaper. The inclusion of garden buildings or other constructions in any garden design do not equate to building plans, and are purely aesthetic. The client is advised to use professional construction services to build any garden constructions.

I know, I know "it's not an airport, no need to announce your departure", but I'll be brief. I disagree with Zuck on many things (allowing internet abuse, childhood socials addiction and propaganda to go unchecked, farming data, etc) and this was the final straw for me. We are hurtling into a world of social media NewSpeak, so I'm off! haha

I will be deleting all of my Meta accounts but I will still be on LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube or you can catch me at woodsgardendesign.com or 07786 517833

Obviously leaving Insta, Facebook and Threads is a risk to any small business, but I hope you guys can understand my reasons- I think there's a better world out there!

Meta says its platforms will instead rely on "community notes" from its users, an approach pioneered by X.

I’ve had an amazing year, seeing my regular gardens develop and flourish, and I’m grateful to my new design clients for really giving me a loose rein to go wild (literally, because *sustainability*).

Have a wonderful Christmas/Yule/Annual Leave and I’ll be back in January ❄️

Now enjoying Christmas en España and realising how my Spanish sounds to the Sevilla natives:

Local justice for our environment ❤️
However, what will be done to decontaminate the land and replace the ecosystem this man destroyed?

Langley Beck claims he has a hoarding disorder which made him dump tonnes of rubbish on woodland near Maidstone in Kent - but he has now been ordered to clear it up

I appear to be a one trick pony this week! Another moss installation but for the this time. Come and see me in my mini jungle in the Maidstone Exhibition Hall at Detling Show Ground this Sunday to Monday. I’ll be offering a show discount on design services booked by autumn but even if you just want a chat about plants, a pog at my acer and a free bookmark or packet of seeds, pop over!

Nothing Else Matters except this luminous lilac and I’d be The Unforgiven if I didn’t take her home. What an unexpected gem is- I’ll be back but in the van next time 😂

When we put up a new fence we gave our neighbours the nice side of the fence but it ain’t nothing but a G(ardener) thing; I’m just going to cover it in plants anyway. I’ve grown this clematis stem on a horizontal wire and I’m now training the shoots vertically but I am massively hamfisted so this is what I did to avoid breaking the stems 🌺

I keep forgetting but April is , so if you’re curious, ask away, I am always happy to talk about my experience as an autistic person who is also raising Nd children!
But first!
A few myths to bust:
1- no it wasn’t vaccines, we are just normal people born with differences
2- autism isn’t new but has always been underdiagnosed
3- no, everyone is NOT “a little bit autistic”; autistic folk are neurodivergent (our brains are wired atypically, compared to neuroTYPICAL folks)
4- the “spectrum” of neurodivergence sounds like a sliding scale but is more like a Venn diagram, which is why I share traits with ADHD folks but my diagnosis is autism
5- “you don’t look autistic” is not a compliment! Some of us can “mask” our behavioural and neurological differences very well, but it is EXHAUSTING and often contributes to mental illness such as anxiety and depression. When we are assessed by doctors they analyse our unmasked selves to reach the diagnosis.
6- autism itself is not a disability, just a different “wiring” of the brain. However some people’s autism is expressed in traits that are debilitating, such as inability to swallow food, mutism, or extreme aversion to sound, smells or light, etc.
7- autistic people are *not* unempathetic! It’s now believed that we actually feel empathy so acutely that it causes us anxiety, especially for autistic folk who can’t express it in a way others can access.

Happy Autism Awareness to all 🖤

PS
No jigsaw emojis in the comments please- happy to explain why if needed.
