Melissa Morton Garden Design creates beautiful, inspiring gardens, in harmony with their surroundings and inside the home.  Imaginative planting designs provide year round structure, define spaces throughout the seasons and reflect the sense of place.

I am a professional garden designer, making elegant spaces which are individually tailored to enhance your well being and quality of life, as well as boosting your environment.

Bold structure, sensitive use of colour and repeating forms are characteristic to my designs, ensuring that your outdoor space can be enjoyed all year round. Gardens must look beautiful and thrive in our Yorkshire landscape with its sometimes challenging climate and conditions. I showcase a number of gardens I have designed on my Portfolio page, which will give you a feel for my approach.

From new builds with a blank canvas, to properties with mature gardens needing a planting refresh, I work for a range of clients, homes and gardens.

“ I help homeowners fall in love with their garden again, creating gardens they want.”

Design ethos

While each garden project is inherently different, they tend to follow a similar pathway. By recognising those similarities, I have developed a clear and thorough design process which is applied to my range of services.  My role is to guide you through that process, involving you every step of the way so that the garden I design for you reflects your vision, lifestyle and life stage.

Passing my expertise to my clients, I have also learned that the designer – client relationship is vital to create a sustainable vision for them.

How can I help you?

I offer a range of services which have been prepared to give clients different ways of working with me, depending on their budget, timescales and the guidance they need.
