Janet spent several hours with us discussing our wishes for the garden. She then came up with a detailed design that we were delighted with. These plans have been successfully translated to create a result which has to be seen to be believed. The garden has given us so much pleasure.

We decided to redesign our garden in the autumn of 2010. The work was completed in May and, as we write this in August, the garden looks an absolute picture and is everything we wanted. It has been a joy to walk around the garden over the past few months and watch it develop. Janet's skills in garden design and knowledge of plants has been absolutely invaluable in the whole process of transforming our garden. We would unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone considering a similar project.

Janet doesn’t do hard-sell. On the contrary, she quietly listens to your ideas, wants and needs and then takes them away to turn them into the concept of what your garden could look like with the added ingredients of her plant knowledge, landscaping experience and creative flair. Recently, we had friends over for a bite to eat and, as the sun set and the evening drew in, everything combined to create a wonderful setting for entertaining. Those friends have already commissioned Janet to plan their garden. I guess there’s no better recommendation than seeing “the proof of the pudding”.

It has been a great pleasure to have Janet re-design and re-plant our garden and outdoor areas. She has throughout been very efficient, creative and responsive and we are thrilled with the end result.

Janet Bligh did a complete, inspired and creative garden makeover for me. It transformed the empty garden space of a newly built house, into magical garden rooms, that are both beautiful and easy to maintain. I thank Janet and her team for being such a pleasure to have around, and for their professional and reliable service.  I would not hesitate in recommending Janet Bligh Garden Designs to anyone.
 

Janet showed tremendous vision in interpreting what we wanted, and delivered a design and end result that was more than we could have hoped for. Most importantly, the work has stood the test of time five years on.

Three years ago we had a fairly large garden that had some established shrubs and trees but lacked interest and variety. We asked Janet to help us design a plan and choose plants to suit us and our garden.

The garden has given us tremendous pleasure since then. We had neither the vision nor knowledge to change the garden so imaginatively. We are delighted with the results and continue to benefit year on year from the initial investment.

I am so pleased with the garden you designed for me, and it has brought me so much joy watching it grow over the years since you started it. You were so good with the work on it and listened to everything I wanted. I have evergreens throughout the year which I wanted, and the garden is always looking good whatever season. From what was a boring straight garden is now an interesting space with lots of different places to go. Thank you for doing such a great job.

Janet is an exceptional plantswoman.  She designed several very large mixed borders for our garden with interesting and colour coordinated plantings.   Her design took into account the difficult site and the surrounding countryside, she gave us a detailed planting plan and supplied all the plants. Five years on, the borders are looking very mature and give us pleasure all year round due to the varied nature of the planting.

We have no hesitation in recommending Janet Bligh Garden Designs to anyone considering a garden project; we have been delighted with the results of her expertise in our garden and she has been a pleasure to work with.

I would have to say that I was surprised at what a huge difference having my garden designed & planted by Janet has made.  There is nothing much better than sitting in the garden on a sunny Sunday afternoon - it really is a genuine pleasure.  My garden isn't huge and the cost involved was minimal bearing in mind the enjoyment I've had in just one season.
