About Amy Hannigan garden design

Amy has been a garden designer for nearly 20 years. Designing and building many gardens of all scale from courtyards to large country gardens. She offers a friendly and professional service, taking her cue from each site and client to create beautiful and useable gardens. She aims to work as sustainably as projects allow and is keen to introduce habitat and bio-diversity to her gardens. Always aiming to leave the site a little richer than before. 

For the last 25 years Amy has been developing her own garden on a tricky sloping site and uses the garden to vet and investigate the growing habits of her favourite plants. She regularly attends industry conferences and training days to keep her thinking current and relevant to a changing climate. Before being a garden designer Amy studied art history. She has three grown up daughters and lives with her husband and Jack Russell in West Sussex.

OUR CLIENTS SAY...

When renovating our barn we chose Amy to help us design our garden as we loved her irrepressible enthusiasm, impressive knowledge and creative approach. She transformed what basically was an empty paddock into a stunning yet low maintenance garden, sympathetic to our barn environment. She really hears what you are looking for and interprets your thoughts and needs with flair and style. She’s an utter delight to work with.
Christian and Jennifer Fernhurst
Working with Amy has been of great annoyance. It is very rare to step out of our house and not be complimented on how lovely our garden is by seemingly endless passers-by. (OK, really: Amy’s knowledge, aesthetic vision and experience in garden design is spectacular. We would highly recommend her.)
Justin and JackieHaslemere
Amy is a very knowledgeable plants woman and curates beautiful planting plans that are location perfect. She is a pleasure to work with and creates stunning designs.
CathyHaslemere
Amy worked closely with me to realise my ideas for my garden, using many of the design features, plants and natural resources we had but in new and surprising ways and creating new structure and wonderful beds of flowers. She has a strong visual imagination and is an excellent plantswoman who was able to solve many of the landscaping challenges we faced including heavy clay soil in some areas; infertile areas in heavy shade under trees and lack of sun in parts of our North facing plot, creating a lush and delightful garden to be enjoyed all year round.
Lizzy
Amy's professional approach, attention to detail and interpretation of our wishes all led to an amazing outcome: from the new designs and planting; the choice of material for the new terrace and paths; and the outside lighting. She has created a very modern, sleek design which all visitors have commented upon very positively.
ClareHaslemere
Amy has transformed our garden into a beautiful haven which has become an extension of our home. Amy has done everything from design to plant selection, ensuring we have colour, texture and height throughout the seasons. I couldn't recommend highly enough.
