Garden design and planting in Arundel

Naomi Ferrett-Cohen plans gardens and planting for homes in Arundel and the Arun valley. She is a garden designer and RHS Chelsea Silver-Gilt medallist, and she visits by appointment to see your garden and hear how you would like to use it.

In Arundel that might mean a town garden behind a period house, a garden with changes of level or a plot that has outgrown its planting. Naomi sketches her designs by hand on paper first, then builds a 3D model in SketchUp, so you can picture the layout and planting before anything is built.

Gardens in and around Arundel

Arundel is a market town on the River Arun in West Sussex, where the river cuts through the chalk of the South Downs. Part of the town lies within the South Downs National Park, and the main settlement sits just outside it, as a gateway to the Park. Most of the old town is a conservation area, with Georgian and Victorian streets.

Naomi gives a home garden in Arundel the same care over height, structure and planting, at the scale that suits you.

Planting in the Arun valley

The South Downs National Park Authority describes the valley floor beside the Arun as having silty soils that can be waterlogged from time to time, and the hills above are chalk. A garden near the river and one higher up the town can differ, so Naomi checks your soil and drainage at the first visit before choosing plants.

She chooses plants for your site and light, and for the wetter winters and drier summers ahead, so the borders keep giving through the year.

Questions about garden design in Arundel

Does Naomi design gardens in Arundel?
Yes. Naomi works with homeowners in Arundel and the Arun valley, by appointment, from her base in Shoreham-by-Sea.
My home is in the old town. Does that change anything?
Most of the old town of Arundel is a conservation area. If your home is in it, mention it at the first visit so the plan allows for it, and check with the council before changing trees or boundary walls.
Can Naomi design a garden on a slope?
Steps, levels and retaining walls are all worked out and drawn as part of the detailed design, so your landscaper knows exactly what to build. Naomi looks at the slope at the first visit.
