Garden design and planting across Sussex

Naomi Ferrett-Cohen is a garden designer working with homeowners in East and West Sussex. She is based in Shoreham-by-Sea and works by appointment, coming to your garden to see the space and listen to what you want.

Naomi designs gardens of many kinds across Sussex, from seaside gardens to country estates. Some are redesigns. Others begin as bare ground.

Naomi sketches her designs by hand on paper first, then builds a 3D model in SketchUp, so you can see the whole garden before any work begins. She designs the hard landscaping as carefully as the planting: the paths, patios and walls, and features made to suit your garden, that sit alongside the borders and show them off.

Gardens of every size

Small gardens and courtyards

Naomi makes the most of a small space, planning the seating, planting and privacy together.

Redesigns and transformations

If you would like your garden to suit how you live now, Naomi starts with what is there and what is worth keeping, then plans a layout and planting that suit how you live.

Large gardens and new builds

From half-acre plots to large country gardens planned for colour through the year, Naomi plans big plots carefully so they mature well.

Naomi is just brilliant. She is a great listener and worked in partnership with us to create a garden that we love and that will develop over the years. We have gone from just bare ground on a new build site in January 2020 to a wonderful terrace filled with colour and interest.
