James Eckersley Garden Design portrait

About

After many years in creative industries, I began working as a professional gardener in York. Realising my passion for creating wonderful outdoor spaces, I completed a degree in Garden Design at the Northern School of Garden Design with distinction and special commendation.

My main drive is to draw people into their gardens, creating beautiful, liveable spaces that make outdoor living a joy. Gardens should be used throughout the year not just the summer months. My designs aim to extend the season of use, so you get maximum value for your investment.

I enjoy planting design that focusses on texture and form, with plants that complement the garden style and create seasonal interest.
