Client Projects

This page shows a selection of images from recent client projects completed by Busy Bee Garden Design. Planting is designed to allow the plants the correct amount of room to fill out over time.

Raised Border Project

A design and planting plan was created for a large, raised, L-shaped border to create a beautiful, low maintenance and wildlife-friendly space. Plants were sourced and planted by Emma. The area includes two rockeries and a pond. The final 3 photos show how the project has matured after a year.

Border Edging and Weeding

A back garden was transformed by the creation of a scalloped border edge. The border was weeded ready for planting to be done soon.

Front Garden Project

A design and planting plan was created for a front garden border to create a beautiful, low maintenance and wildlife-friendly space. The area was cleared of weeds. Plants for acidic soil were sourced and planted by Emma. A small pond was added and the area mulched to keep down the weeds. More flowering perennials will be added in the Spring.

Rockery

An overgrown area was cleared of weeds. Topsoil was added along with large pieces of rustic slate . Alpine plants including sedums, Armeria and Helianthemum were planted along with ivy and a Mugo pine. Blue slate pieces and cobble stones were used to mulch the area.

Shade Planting

A bare, shady corner was transformed by the planting of shade-loving plants including foxgloves, hostas, heuchera and sweet box to add colour and texture. The sweet box shrubs are evergreen and have a beautiful scent in the winter.
