Addis Garden Design has been established in Yorkshire for the past five years and during that time, worked on a wide range of exciting projects including small urban spaces, commercial sites and large country houses.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Addis Garden Design believe that gardens should express individuality and a unique style.  With this in mind, the company takes inspiration from Dutch and American designers bringing together a well balanced and aesthetically pleasing environment.

OUR IDEALS

  • To bring nature further into the urban environment.

  • To design planting schemes, which complement the garden or landscape surroundings.

  • To produce planting schemes with all-year-round interest.

  • To appreciate plants for their seed heads, foliage and not just for their colour.

  • To tailor work around the client’s budget.

  • To design schemes from traditional to contemporary styles.

WHAT WE PROVIDE FOR YOU -

  • A free no obligation site visit, and project discussion.

  • Survey of the site.

  •  Initial sketch proposals and finalisation of layout.

  •  Production of detailed master plans and planting schedules.

  • Construction of hard landscaping followed by planting

  • Post construction meeting and discussions.

INSPIRATION:
The following designers are a real inspiration.  Their planting themes and methods are full of vision -        

  • DAN PEARSON

  • DAVID HICKS

  • JOHN BROOKES.

PLANTS OF THE MOMENT
Structure is the most important component of any successful planting, colour is important too but it is a secondary consideration.

Michael likes to choose plants that have a long season of interest.

Herbaceous perennials for instance should look good out of season as well as  in season. The herbaceous perennials shown below are perfect examples of this philosophy.

EXAMPLES OF HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS WITH GOOD WINTER STRUCTURES

  • Eupatortium ‘Purpureum’  -  Hemp Agrimony

  • Foeniculum ‘Giant Bronze’ - Fennel

  • Echinacea ‘Purpurea’ - Cornflower

  • Echinops ‘Taplow Blue’ - Globe Thistle

  • Achillea ‘Walther Funche’ - Yarrow

  • Calamagrostisx acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’

  • Knautia macodonica

  • Stipa gigantea
