Testimonials
"I'm truly delighted with Bea's design and how the garden has been transformed. It's really taking shape now and it's very exciting. I've had so many compliments about it and I have been persuaded to open it in the local Open Gardens this summer."

"From the initial phone call to completion of the project, Bea was a joy to work with. She really listens, and grasped what we were trying to achieve straight away, understanding how the large Om garden was going to be used, how it fitted into the overall garden scheme, and the key part it played in the vista from the house and guest lodging during the different seasons.
Her plant knowledge and creativity with texture/smell/height/colour etc is one of her key skills. Her designs were visually appealing, easy to understand, fully explanatory and labelled, and together with illustrative images of the plants themselves (we weren't familiar with many of them) we had a proper sense of what to expect. And we weren't disappointed! It's been 18 months since the planting was done so we've seen the blooming results through the seasons. Spectacular! And the Om garden a haven of tranquility.
And we also want to mention the actual hard graft preparation/planting schedule. Bea gave us comprehensive advice on soil preparation, and project managed the actual planting of thousands of plants according to her plan, rolling up her sleeves to give the team a hand and offer advice when we weren't sure about something."

"We moved into a new house with a reasonably sized, but very neglected garden. As it was very much a ‘blank canvas’ we thought it would be sensible to consult an expert about what to do, and chose Bea Ray Garden Design. The design was fantastic – making sure that every area of the garden had a purpose, and even finding use for a large side garden that we had ‘written off’. The design blended classic features with a contemporary finish, and paid full attention to the key element of our brief – a garden that the whole family could enjoy, but one that would mature from the toddler years onwards. Bea effortlessly included safety features in the design, without making their functionality stand out.
Bea quickly understood our needs, and consulted us throughout the design process to ensure the finished design exceeded expectation. Bea was also very knowledgeable about the practical aspects of the garden makeover. Due to a limited budget, we knew that we would have to do the work on a piecemeal basis, and Bea was able to guide us on where best to start, the order of works and how to make the most of the money available. I would recommend Bea to anyone needing inspiration for the garden, and she was a joy to work with."
