The English art of creating a garden that feels as though it has always belonged.
Growing up in the English countryside shaped James Brewer’s eye for hedgerows, wildflowers, weathered stone and spaces that invite you to slow down.
Since founding his business in England in 1995, James has guided clients from the first conversation and hand-drawn plan through construction, planting, lighting and final handover.

Designed as a living landscape
Natural does not mean unplanned.
Paths and stone give the garden structure. Nectar-rich flowers, host plants, seed heads and shelter support butterflies, bees, birds and other wildlife through the seasons.
Every garden begins with its setting and the people who will live in it. The result is never a formula, but a landscape with its own identity, rhythm and story.

Lighting plans within my natural / wildlife gardens are designed to have predominantly down facing lights. I use warmer tones to have as little disruptive impact to wildlife as possible.

Pollinator-friendly flowers, seasonal seed heads and shelter are composed as part of the garden — beautiful for people and useful to the wildlife that shares it.

Pollinator gardens aren’t something we create as a speciality. It’s what we deliver as a standard.
I’m a huge believer in symbiotic gardens, living spaces that blend seamlessly into their surrounding landscape and not only provide wonder for the whole family to enjoy but gardens that enhance the environment.
To further help with this nurturing footprint, we only use organic soils that have no chemicals and pesticides, organic mulch with no added dye, organic feeds and weed treatments.
You too can enjoy a morning coffee watching bees, butterflies and wildlife gathering pollen from their thriving buffet.
All you have to do is make the coffee; we take pride in creating the rest.
James’s work first drew national attention in England, including an interview with BBC Radio Leicester and appearances connected with his distinctive approach to garden making.Listen to the BBC interview →
Published on 5 June 2025, the feature looks back at thirty years of garden design, from James’s beginnings in England to his established work in New Hampshire.
Every garden is different. James works with you from the first meeting through the design and installation, so each detail belongs to the whole.
01
Meet in your garden
James visits your home, looks at the garden, listens to what you would like and recommends the best way forward. The consultation is $120 and generally takes about an hour.
02
Shape the design together
Some gardens need simple concept images; others call for more detailed designs and plans. James develops the ideas with you, based on the size and complexity of your project.
03
Bring it to life
With the design agreed, James guides the installation and planting. He often plans gardens during the quieter winter months and brings them to life in the growing season.
Common questions
Good to know before we meet.
What design services do you offer?
The work is tailored to your garden. It might begin with basic concept images or need more detailed plans. We design it together, with your ideas and James’s experience guiding the result.
How much does the design cost?
The cost depends on the size and complexity of your garden and the level of design work needed. James can discuss the scope with you after the first meeting and then provide a price for your project.
When could my project start?
James usually carries out design work during the quieter winter months and reserves garden installations for the growing season. Please get in touch for current availability.
Can I book design without installation?
James generally prefers to design and install the garden as one project. His gardens can involve details that are best understood by the person who designed them. His 31 years of design and installation experience helps avoid complications and saves time and money.
