I'm Sarah, your garden expert here at Little Eden. I’ve loved working on a plan for your newly renovated terraced garden—thank you for sharing so much rich detail and inspiration.

You’ve given us a beautiful brief: cottage-style planting in calming tones of blue, purple, pink and green, with soft shapes, natural repetition, and year-round charm.

You mentioned your garden is currently a steeply terraced blank canvas—and it’s ready for its next chapter.

We’re here to help transform the space into a peaceful, playful haven that feels both abundant and thoughtfully designed. Whether it’s cascading colour from the top wall, scented climbers scrambling up fences, or evergreen anchors giving structure through winter, we’ve built your blueprint around your dream of a garden that looks loved and lived-in—even when life gets busy.

Your south-facing garden enjoys a lovely balance of sun and shade, and your freely draining, slightly acidic loamy soil opens up exciting planting possibilities.

We’ve selected plants that thrive in those conditions, while also factoring in the slope, changing light levels, and your need for lower-maintenance plants.

You also have a wonderful collection of plants from your mum and a clear love for texture and movement, which we’ve woven into each border.

We've also suggested some plants to go into plant pots so they can be moved in the future if needed.

Below, you’ll find your Personalised Garden Blueprint—designed to make bringing your dream garden to life simple, inspiring, and joyful.

The Blueprint is broken into easy-to-follow sections. First, we look at Your Vision, capturing exactly what you’re hoping to create.

Next, the Your Garden section looks at the unique characteristics of your space—from the soil, orientation, to shape and layout—highlighting opportunities and potential challenges.

The Your Plan section is the heart of your Blueprint, which includes a tailored garden design, clear planting layout, and my handpicked plant list which selects plants that will work in your garden and are the right mix of colour and seasonal interest.

You'll find helpful a Care Guide with simple tips on how to keep the garden thriving all year round.

You can also see how easy it is to bring the design to life with our Garden-in-a-Box, which includes all the plants in your plan—delivered to your door and backed by our 5-year plant guarantee.

If you have any questions or would like any tweaks to the design, just drop me an email at hello@mylittleeden.co.uk—I’m always happy to help.
