Based in Hampshire, our studio creates beautiful, natural and grounded gardens to be enjoyed year round.
Gardens shaped by place
Our gardens are authentic and have a light touch approach. Working with natural materials and resilient, wildlife-friendly planting, we create outdoor spaces that sit comfortably within their surroundings, bringing house and landscape together in an immersive and thoughtful way.

The studio is led by Bean Nicholson, with a small team based in Romsey, Hampshire. Located between the New Forest and the South Downs, we are involved in projects across the south of England.

Aiming for a light touch approach, we build gardens which fit the landscape and setting with ease. Each project is shaped by the client brief, the architecture and interior style, and the local landscape. We aim to strike a balance between the aesthetic and practical needs of each project in a sustainable fashion, bringing together ideas and details to create an enjoyable outdoor lifestyle, with abundant planting, natural materials and a garden to weather the seasons.

The majority of our projects are residential, where we work in collaboration with private clients, architects and occasionally on commercial schemes. We have also been involved in some local community projects.
“We found Bean delightful to work with: personable, responsive to our requirements and very conscientious. Nothing was too much trouble.”
