Gardens

Gardens are obviously one of our main areas of work, from the small suburban garden on a studio stage, to the large period estate where we might be trying to restore the former glories, or to cover the place with decades of growth and neglect.

This area can also call on all our skills and resources from topiary and hedges to pot grown vegetables, creeper infested walls or rebuilt trees.

'Chocolat'
A French style garden created on location in Somerset

'The Secret Garden'
We have dedicated an area of glass for the storage of autumn leaves and various dried wild flowers and weeds. This area is useful for out of season sets, especially those where quick and dramatic seasonal changes are required (The Secret Garden took 3 days to change from high summer to dead, dead winter).
