Transform your garden.
"I love spending time in my own garden and by practicing garden design I am able to pass on this enthusiasm to others. I look forward to meeting new clients and helping them to realise their garden’s full potential."
gardenangel is a small garden design consultancy based in Preston, Lancashire, and run by Gabby Nickson.
Gabby is a fully qualified garden designer, professionally trained at Myerscough College near Preston. She believes that gardens are very individual places and should reflect the personality of the owner.
Gabby keeps up to date with current design trends, has studied the history of garden design and has visited inspirational gardens around the world.
gardenangel offers a design service which includes consultation, site survey and plan, production of a concept drawing and the final hand drawn plan of the design which will include specifications for hard landscaping and planting.
Gabby is happy to undertake commissions in Preston and its surrounding area and offers a postal design service for other areas.
The cost of a commission will vary greatly depending on the size of the garden and the budget available for the overall construction of the finished garden.
