Cambridge Town Garden

"We’re so delighted with the beautiful garden created and built by Allium Gardeners for us in Cambridge. From start to finish the work was excellent. They listened to our design ideas and included these, and also provided a terrific garden design which is just right for our needs and the garden space. The work was done quickly and everything was always kept tidy and organised as we went along. Everyone at Allium is a joy to work with, and it was a pleasure to have them at our house each day. We’re planning additional work and look forward to having Allium Gardeners return and also helping us take care of the garden maintenance. A great team and highly recommended!"

Projects

Newmarket

Completed: 01/03/2023
Location: Newmarket
Budget: £15,000.00

Our clients are in process of moving into their new property a blank canvas of a garden, with stunning panoramic views of the Suffolk countryside.

They also wanted to plant in stages so that they could get a feel for the garden once they move in permanently later in year.

I designed a teardrop shaped bed that brings the surrounding landscape in and will give interest, colour and movement throughout the whole year.

This naturalistic planting of perennials and grasses will enhance the landscape using plants that are drought tolerant.

 

 

Turfing

Completed: 31/01/2023
Location: Bury St Edmunds
Budget: £5,000.00

We were approached by Denbury homes to turf the front gardens on 2 of their newly finished beautifully traditionally-built homes

Homeslice pizza

Completed: 26/04/2020
Location: London

As part of our Allium Alfresco team. We work for and maintain all Homeslice pizza restaurants in London and have done several planting jobs for them. Supplying planters and plants. Our 1st project was to plant the planters at the Bloomberg building in cannon street in the city with grasses. We since have planted their fitzrovia and shoreditch restaurants with corten planters and magnolia grandifloras. And recently changed the planters at the Bloomberg building with ivy and pinus mugo and adding skimmia japonica at Christmas with berries and fairy lights. 

Turfing Clearance Project

Completed: 01/02/2020
Location: Loughton, Essex

We completed this project in January/February this year our client has a small baby and wanted a larger area for him to play, and as the existing garden was cut into 2 different areas it wasn’t what they wanted. Also long term the client wanted to sell their property and as the garden was not in a presentable condition and a little pointless and by having a big lawned area it would be an easier project for a potential buyer. This job was in Loughton Essex.

Woodland Walk

Completed: 01/03/2019
Location: Lavenham, Suffolk

This is our woodland walk project in Lavenham Suffolk. Our clients had an area of land that was unused and realised it had the best view of the garden and so requested a solid oak pergola and patio using reclaimed stone from the houses original kitchen floor to sit under and put table/chairs, a place to have food and drinks and entertain admiring the rest of their garden.
And have a woodland walk linking to other parts of the garden using Everedge.

Hotel Du Vin

Completed: 01/09/2018
Location: Cambridge, England

As part of our Allium Alfresco part of the business. Here are images of planting displays we carried out for hotel du Vin in Cambridge window displays, planters.

Secret Garden

Completed: 01/04/2018
Location: Essex

This is our secret garden project for Dawn Green in Loughton In Essex. Our brief was to create a secret garden at the bottom our client's existing garden which was basically a wasted area and not used. A place they would want to come an relax and entertain with a breeze house if the weather was bad. They were absolutely over the moon.

Cambridge Montessori

Completed: 01/04/2017
Location: Cambridge, England

Design and landscaping completed for a sensory garden for the children with grasses, herbs, colour and vegetables for the children at Cambridge Montessori School. THe project was a sensory-garden for touch, sight, scent, taste and hearing. Cambridge Montessori is an independent nursery school in Cambridge, England which offers authentic Montessori education for children aged 1 to 5 years.

Cambridge Town Garden

Completed: 01/03/2017
Location: Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

This was a project we completed in Cambridge - a townhouse. The garden was tired and had an old pond. Our clients didn’t really use the space, they wanted a garden they could use and entertain guests. So we raised the planter for growing vegetables which we made from sleepers. We also provided a planting area that grew lusciously in summer. They were extremely happy and can now enjoy the garden year long to entertain guests and spend time outdoors in their private green space.
