VB Garden Design

Wendy is full of great ideas and really listens to what we want; asking the right questions, challenging our assumptions. We’re very pleased with the design and cannot wait to see the actual garden!

Our rear garden is quite small, was a bit basic and very overgrown. VB Garden design made plenty of suggestions and came up with solutions to improve the garden which we would not have thought of on our own. The designer was very helpful at guiding us through the process and particularly in the selection of plants which we went to view at the nursery. We now have a beautiful garden and can highly recommend VB Garden design.

I had a very ugly border that I never know what to do with, but after a consultation I now have a fabulous plan. A fantastic service, Wendy is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly I would highly recommend VB Garden Design

Wendy is an inspired designer, a great collaborator and communicator, and a pleasure to work with. Our garden was a tricky brief: a rebuild from the ground up at the back of a terraced town house (the front door and through the house are the only access) with no pre-existing plants. We wanted something both established and contemporary as well as appearing larger than it was. Wendy hit the bullseye on every count, responding to our tastes and needs with sensitivity and an encyclopedic knowledge of plants and planting.

Wendy did a great job for us. The designs were great, she kept us informed on progress and timings, the project was completed on time and she dealt with any issues that came up. We love the garden and she continues to help us with maintenance as well. She is very trustworthy and really cares about her projects and her clients being happy with it. Highly recommend.

We are delighted with our new garden! Wendy listened carefully to what we wanted and delivered on time and within budget. A lovely variety of healthy trees and plants and an artificial lawn that looks pretty natural! I was particularly grateful as Wendy gathered that we had a family party planned and, even though we knew it was impossible for the garden to be finished in time, she restructured her agenda to make sure that the patio area was finished and looking beautiful with pots and flowering shrubs. It’s little thoughtful things like that that make VB Garden design stand out – I would highly recommend Wendy and her team.

I was recommended to VB Design by a mum of one of my daughters friends. I found Wendy to be warm, engaging and full of good ideas. We are really happy with our design and would have no hesitation in recommending VB Design to anyone. Andrew Keston Kent

We found Wendy's services to be high quality and very good value for money. She produced a detailed terrace design for our period house that took into account both our interior design and the exterior façade of the house. She went into a lot of detail about how we wanted to use the area and where the stepped access routes should be. She is also very knowledgeable about paving, exterior lighting and planting, to create a beautiful modern entertaining space with a period feel.

Wendy had a great range of ideas for our small London garden and how to make the most of the space. She was knowledgable about what would work best in the space and both incorporated our ideas and came up with lots of her own suggestions, which we were happy to use. The trees she suggested are stunning and the planter with herbs is a particular favourite. She also liaised with an electrician for us, once we had agreed on lighting. She and her colleague worked hard on a very hot day to get all the trees and plants in, which was tough physical work. The garden looks absolutely lovely and we are very happy with the finished result.

I have collaborated with Wendy at VB Garden Design on several design projects and it has always been an enjoyable experience. As well as having great design ideas and knowledge, she is extremely professional and excels at project management and making things happen!

Wendy Von Buren was brilliant to work with. I had never hired someone to work on my garden, I know wish I had. I have spent a huge amount of money over the years on plants that have died. She went through my garden planting and re planting it, showing me and advising me what to do. I am really excited to see my garden bloom this spring. She re landscaped the back of my garden, being realistic of the needs of my family so we can all enjoy the space. She came in on budget and and was really tidy respecting my home as if it was her own. I would highly recommend VB garden design.

We were delighted with the service we received from VB Garden Design. Wendy is a true professional in the service she provides but with a very personable nature. We instructed Wendy to provide a completely new design for the garden of our new house. We explained what we wanted in respect of maintenance and use of the planned garden and she came up with the perfect design, with very helpful suggestions put forward by Wendy. This year the garden design will start and we are looking forward to discussing planting plan with Wendy and making our dream garden come true. I would highly recommend VB Garden Design to anyone.
