Barbara Kelso Garden Design

Whether designing for a large country garden or an intimate courtyard, I offer a stylish solution sympathetic to its location, from traditional to modern and contemporary. The focus is on structure, shape and proportions to achieve a functional and aesthetically pleasing design with logical progression and movement throughout the garden. My designs offer simplicity and elegance, characterised by their strong and confident layout, complemented by natural materials with exquisite planting. With a passion for plants and a wide plant knowledge, I am able to suggest more unusual varieties where they would be suitable, bringing the garden to life with their colour, scent, texture, form and year-round impact. I am a member of Carrickfergus Garden Society, Ballyrobert Cottage Gardening Club and the Irish Garden Plant Society, which assists in the conservation of garden plants, especially those raised in Ireland. Also I have Friend membership of the Garden and Landscape Designers Association.
