New life was breathed into an 18th-century structure and its surrounding property in Essex. Once dominated by barren lawns and a parking area, this garden has been transformed into a vibrant, species-rich landscape that harmonizes with the broader natural environment.

Through a carefully curated selection of plants, the garden now provides year-round visual interest and serves as a sanctuary for both wildlife and people. Innovative design elements seamlessly blend creativity and functionality, creating inviting spaces that foster a deep connection between residents and nature.

This project priorities sustainability, featuring diverse planting, water-saving solutions, and eco-friendly practices that reflect a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. By honouring local architecture while incorporating modern elements, Church Barn truly stands out in the community.
