Tina Vallis Garden Design and Planting

Tina Vallis trained at Kew, and has eighteen years experience as a garden designer in Kent and East Sussex. With a deep understanding of the local terrain and conditions, and an exceptional knowledge of plants, she can create environmentally sympathetic plantings and select rare and choice species that flourish well in local conditions. Her award-winning designs include skillfully detailed hard landscaping and simple plantings – from large county house estates to small urban spaces. She loves solving the problems often created by awkward spaces – using simple, elegant shapes to create stunning contemporary gardens – often within very tight budgets. It is her planting that has made her work so special, and meant that clients often take her with them when they move house to design their second, and sometimes their third garden! Clever plant and colour combinations that expertly match the conditions of each site make each garden unique, from quiet, ever-changing green spaces to sumptuous, jewel-like displays. Some of her latest garden designs include imaginative kitchen gardens, combining beauty with highly productive plantings of fruit and vegetables, matching the trend for gardens to be both sustainable and beautiful.
