The Studio

Contemporary gardens, richly planted.

Studio Samuel James designs considered outdoor spaces for contemporary living, balancing strong composition, layered planting and practical use. Each scheme is approached with an awareness of the changing climate and the value of biodiverse, pollinator-friendly gardens - without compromising style, function or atmosphere.

My Approach

I trained in garden and landscape design at the Oxford College of Garden Design, receiving a distinction.

Practical experience working in gardens has given me a grounded understanding of plants, maintenance and seasonal change. This informs each project from the earliest stages, helping to create gardens that are not only visually considered, but able to establish, mature and be lived in over time.
