Elizabeth Ely

I am a professional garden designer based in the Cotswolds and I provide a bespoke landscape design service. Inspired by the natural environment, I create gardens and public spaces that are beautiful, functional, sustainable and wildlife-friendly.

I founded Elizabeth Ely Landscape and Garden Design in 2018 after achieving a distinction in Professional Garden Design at the Cotswold Gardening School. Prior to this I was a research scientist working for DEFRA but I've had a lifelong passion for gardening, art and nature.

Working with me as your landscape designer

I have enjoyed working on a wide variety of different projects, including both private gardens (large & small) and a large-scale community project redesigning a village recreation ground. I have designed simple, contemporary spaces and informal, cottage-style gardens overflowing with plants, always with an eye to the design's impact on our local and wider environment.

I love working collaboratively with my clients throughout the design process. From initially helping them to formulate their ideas on what they need from their outdoor space, through to the creation of the final plans, where their practical requirements are carefully blended with their desired aesthetic.

In addition to my landscape design services, I also provide garden design consultation and advice and give talks to community groups or businesses.
