Emily Barden 

Founder and lead designer

​

​

I have always been a designer. Creative problem solving and finding aesthetic solutions has always been at the centre of what I do. 



I studied Graphic Design at university in Cornwall, exploring ideas and learning the fundementals whilst surrounded by the inspiring landscape. My working life took me to London, where I made children's books for a prestigious publishing company for ten years.

 

My desire to combine the design world, with the outdoors led me in my decision to change career to Garden Design. I attended the industry renowned Garden Design School, where I graduated with distinction.

 

In 2024, I was awarded a Silver medal for my Long Border exhibit,
'To Have and To Hold' at RHS Flower Show Tatton Park.
