Meet The Team Behind The Gardens

Our design studio is led by the creative minds of Alex, Andy, and Phoebe, bringing your vision to life with fresh ideas and thoughtful detail. Out on site, Pete, Joe, Isaac, and Ben keep everything running smoothly, making sure each build is finished to the highest standard.

Behind the scenes, Peter keeps a sharp eye on the purse strings, while Bev adds a spark of creativity across our branding and marketing. At the heart of it all is Jacob, our founder and director, who remains hands-on and involved in every project from start to finish.
