Laing Landscape Design

We asked Karen for a design for a wheelchair friendly productive garden. The site was a blank canvas with the exception of four large sycamore trees and a slope from left to right. The garden she designed was exactly what we wanted, with raised beds for growing herbs and vegetables. The area of the garden that is inaccessible to a wheelchair because of the slope has been kept to a minimum. It also looks good with the materials in keeping with our bungalow. It was a pleasure working with Karen, because we felt fully involved in the design process. She listened to our ideas as well as putting forward her own. Without her, we would not be enjoying our stylish, practical garden

Karen Laing designed the East Haven Beechgrove Community Garden which was awarded Gold in the Beautiful Scotland competition in 2015. She created a community garden that met the needs and aspirations of the whole community. Her ideas were inspirational and the final design integrated our maritime heritage right into the heart of the village. Karen consulted with us at every stage and took everybody's ideas into account. As a result we have the most amazing gardens with beautiful plants which provide colour all year round. As a community, we can't recommend Karen highly enough. The gardens in East Haven have now become such a special place to visit and we are inundated with tourists. Karen must surely be one of the most talented garden designers/ landscape architect's in the UK.
