Riverside 'Eco' Garden - Under Development (Completion
2010/2011)
This garden really excites me. It's almost a cliff face, with stunning views over the Thames. We
are working with a first class architect to build a dwelling, which will be set into the hillside, and compliment the client's
bespoke boat. The design is tailored to the client's needs - this is to be a weekend hideaway which almost blends
with its surroundings. We are looking at green roofs and walls, wildlife support mechanisms such as bat boxes, and maximising
the amazing vistas that make this such a magical space

Contemporary
Sculpture Garden - Under Development (Completion 2010/2011)
Client Comment: Sal Robson, Oxfordshire: "Elspeth's design appealed
to me for a number of reasons. What first caught my interest was her suggestion of a large apple sculpture
sitting on the lawn underneath our apple tree, which very much appealed to my sense of humour. I like the
ways which she has incorporated space for further artwork in the design, some of which is only revealed whilst walking through
the garden. I am particularly keen on her use of ponds, both next to the seating area close to the house
and to add interest to the long path leading to the far seating area. In terms of planting, the combination
of formal hedges with large expanses of planting really inspired me. Lastly, there is still a large expanse
of lawn left to enjoy a Sunday afternoon snooze in the hammock! It was a combination of these elements
in a coherent design that lead me to select Elspeth's work as my favourite."

Contemporary London Garden - Under Development (Completion 2010)
Client Comment. Ali Stokes, Fulham "I was blown away
by Elspeth's portfolio she presented at her end of year show in Oxford in June, so much so I asked her to design a simple,
functional and stylish city garden. Since the space was a complete wreck I was amazed at Elspeth's vision demonstrated
in her design and her ability to turn concept into reality."
