I'm Chris Howson, the Tunbridge Wells gardener, and I'm here to help transform your outdoor space and unleash the full potential of your garden.
About me.
I'm passionate about design, sustainability, and all sorts of plants, and I believe in creating fun, collaborative and informal working relationships with clients.
​
Before starting my career in garden design, I worked in web design and user experience. However, I realised that I longed for a (garden) path that led me outside and not always glued to my desk. I retrained in garden design at the British Academy of Garden Design, graduating with distinction, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.
In my spare time (ha!) I have two young daughters and an incredible powerhouse of a wife who's driving the world forward in the world of tech. Family values are at the core of everything I do, the influence of which can be seen in the designs I produce and the processes I go through to get there.
​
Oh, and I still try to run about on a football pitch every Saturday and pretend I'm 21!
What I do.
I help transform residential gardens of all sizes into outdoor spaces that reflect your vision and lifestyle. I love solving the challenges of difficult spaces, and I enjoy coming up with creative solutions that balance both beauty and functionality.
​
Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful retreat, a lively entertaining area, or a low-maintenance landscape, I’ll work alongside you to bring your ideas to life. My services are flexible and tailored to your needs - from creating detailed design plans to finding quality plants and managing the entire process.
