Transforming private gardens & public spaces with inspirational garden design
See What We’ve Been Creating
Every garden tells a different story. Have a look through our recent projects – from intimate town and city gardens where every square metre counts, to sweeping countryside gardens with room to breathe, plus some rather lovely commercial spaces we’ve transformed.
Each one started with a conversation, a vision and usually a fair bit of dreaming. What they all share is that spark of recognition when clients first saw their finished garden – that moment when they knew it was absolutely, perfectly theirs.

Creating Gardens That Tell Your Story
I’m Anna Barker, and I’ve spent the past 19 years turning ordinary gardens into extraordinary spaces that people absolutely love coming home to.
Every garden you see here started the same way – with someone who knew their outdoor space could be so much more. Some clients arrive with Pinterest boards bursting with ideas, others just have that nagging feeling that something needs to change.
Whether you’re armed with inspiration or simply having a think about what’s possible, my job is straightforward: get to know you properly, then design a garden that feels completely, authentically yours.
If you’re considering garden design, or just curious about how we transform a tired space into something rather special, this website offers a glimpse into our approach and answers the questions we hear most often.
Have a browse through our Countryside Garden and Town & City galleries to see what we’ve been up to, and do read some lovely words from clients who’ve been through the journey with us.

Your Garden Should Feel Like You
The best gardens aren’t just beautiful – they’re deeply personal. They reflect how you live, what you love, and how you want to feel when you step outside.
Curious about what’s possible for your space? Let’s have a proper chat about your garden – book a discovery call to learn more about how we work and what’s involved. When you’re ready to begin, we can arrange an initial consultation to see your garden in person.
We do have a waiting list at the moment, so it’s worth getting in touch sooner rather than later. After all, the garden you’ve always wanted is closer than you think.
I’m Anna Barker, founder and creative director of Lush Garden Design. I love plants, meeting people and seeing the potential in a new space that’s tired or unloved.
My job is to help people fall back in love with their gardens.
Many local garden designers appeared to be showcasing traditional garden designs on their websites, which was not what we were looking for. Lush Garden Design stood out with modern and individual garden designs.
We’ve recommended Lush Garden Design already on several occasions. We are delighted with our garden and many others have told us how special it is.
Lush Garden Design both designed and planted our wonderful new garden and I would not hesitate in recommending them to others.
Anna came up with some fabulous, creative designs. She has been excellent to work with, always willing to give her time and opinion and has stayed in touch to ensure that we remain satisfied with our new garden.

Anna didn’t just design our garden – she designed our garden for us, taking into account our ideas but also using her imagination and experience to transform it into a beautiful space.
