Emily Wainwright designs gardens that fit real life. Gardens which are practical, plant-led spaces shaped by your site, your budget, and the way you actually live.
My approach is honest and straightforward. I focus on what you already have, what will thrive, what’s achievable, and what will make the biggest difference to how you use your garden day to day.
I believe in open conversation and in understanding what truly matters to you.
I help with full garden overhauls through to flower border redesigns and pot displays. I consult, design and plant and I don't disappear at the end, offering seasonal maintenance, to support as the garden grows and changes.
Based in North London, but working with Clients across London and Hertfordshire. Get in touch if you've something you'd like help on!
Consult. Design. Plant.
"Emily works the most amazing magic on your garden. She listens to what you want your garden to be then spends a lot of time doing a detailed new planting/any design changes plan She has really good sound ideas and is so knowledgeable. I can't thank her enough as I now have a garden that has a great layout due to some tweaks. The planting is amazing, existing plants were relocated to a spot that suits them, new plants were added. I have a garden that delivers colour and interest all year around. Anyone who has a garden designed by Emily would be delighted with the result."

About
I have worked in design and illustration for 18 years, with a chunk of these years drawing botanicals. With a desire to understand plants and botany in more depth, I studied horticulture with the RHS, being certified with merit. I later shaped this knowledge with a Garden Design and Planting Design certificate Level 3.
I am a great believer in the benefits of being in nature and engaging people with their gardens, sharing the things I've learnt so people are more informed in the plants they select, the spaces they create and how they help their gardens flourish.
