Garden designer in South East London

At Potwell Garden Design, we design ecological, sustainable gardens and outdoor spaces where people can relax and reconnect.

  • 'Shaun transformed our garden from something that felt like a car park into a series of usable spaces.'

    Clare and Chris, Forest Gate, East London

    Clare, Deptford, South East London
