Garden Visions is a garden design practice based in Ascot, Berkshire and working throughout the South. It is run by Owner and Garden Designer Kate Thornton MSGD, who is one of the few Berkshire Garden Designers to achieve 'Registered Member' level of the Society of Garden Designers. Whether you have a 'pocket handkerchief' or a country estate, Kate has many years of experience designing gardens of all sizes.
Her friendly and knowledgeable approach is the ideal starting point for the design of your new garden, or the refurbishment of your existing outdoor space. My goal in designing your garden is to interpret your ideas, however vague, and translate them into a detailed garden design that will deliver an outdoor space that will be both beautiful and practical.
I enjoy the challenge of steeply sloping gardens or awkward spaces, as well as creating impact and drama in more 'typical' gardens. I design gardens of all sizes, from tiny courtyards to large country gardens and work closely with you to ensure the designed garden really meets your needs.

The design process typically involves a number of stages culminating in the presentation of a complete Garden Layout Plan.
These stages are outlined below.
Stage 1: Initial Consultation - At our first meeting we can take a stroll round your garden and discuss your visions for your garden and how you would like to use it.
If you do not have any clear ideas of how you want the garden to look don't worry - just by talking to you and asking appropriate questions we can get a feel for the type or garden that would meet your needs.
