Gardens & Botanical Design

Urban Retreats, Garden Landscapes, & Installations that Celebrate the Fine Art of Nature

At Earthbound our design is a fusion of fine art and the natural world. We consider mother nature our working partner and boss. It is a good and beautiful partnership resulting in herbaceous borders, woodland walks, courtyard gardens, as well as interior and exterior botanical installations.

Design Services

I work with clients on landscapes of all sizes, from smaller urban gardens to larger estate grounds. I also work directly with Interior Designers. Past projects have included collaborations with Ireland designers Suzie McAdam, Jackie Tyrell, and Martyn Laurence Bullard.

  • Whether grand or intimate, my plans often include spaces for woodland walks, kitchen gardens, herbaceous borders, lawns and views to inspire people and enhance the inherent beauty of any property. 

  • My botanical and floral arrangements bring the beauty of outdoor garden landscapes into your home or event space. Using biophilic design principles, I connect your space with the therapeutic feeling of nature.

    Think holiday home exterior decoration, arrangements for special events, and orangeries.

  • With my deep understanding of climate, sun exposure and and soil, I select plants healthy and vibrant from the start, that are ideally suited to the conditions of each garden I design.

  • Using my trusted network of skilled professionals, I will manage your project construction team to deliver beautiful, on-time results.

  • A garden is a living canvas, regular maintenance can help ensure your garden and landscape thrive.

Gardens are a living canvas.

Inspired by the shapes and forms found in nature, the gardens I create are a living canvas where beauty continues to grow and evolve over time.

“Seeing the sketches of the design on paper, I could really visualize how the steps and garden on either side would look. The theme of color is carried throughout with bluebells and crocuses and ladies fingers, again covering the ground and giving height and fragrance. I love it.”

“Our favourite part of the experience was working together and watching the garden evolve over time. We loved it when she came along with new suggestions - even if it already felt like the design was finished. It was obvious Valerie really cared about our project.”
