KENT GARDEN DESIGN
Nectan Garden Design in Kent has been profoundly influenced by the county's architectural styles, which range from historic stone cottages to contemporary homes. This blend of old and new offers opportunities to create gardens that reflect local heritage while incorporating modern elements.
​
The region's varied topology, featuring rolling hills and coastal areas, alongside its geology of clay, chalk, and sandy soils, plays a crucial role in plant selection. For instance, clay soils support moisture-loving plants, while sandy soils are ideal for drought-tolerant species.
​
Our designer can use native plants that thrive in these conditions, enhancing biodiversity and creating sustainable landscapes. Additionally, understanding the historical context allows for the integration of traditional plants, like lavender and boxwood, which resonate with Kent’s agricultural legacy. By harmonizing garden designs with architectural features and the natural environment, Nectan Garden Design can create inviting outdoor spaces that celebrate the unique character and beauty of Kent.
