If you thought wildlife gardens were scruffy, this gorgeous parterre-style garden should change your mind. Formal lavender hedges and a clipped yew ball double up as wildlife habitats and lend structure to billowing clouds of beautiful, wildlife-friendly plants.

Created for a single woman who loves travel, this sumptuous, exotic feast of vivid colours and spectacular foliage will transform a sunny, sheltered spot in any chic urban garden.

The romantic atmosphere of a forest garden is captured in this cool, understated green-and-white planting full of mossy ferns nestling under the dappled shade of a hazel tree.

A beautiful and peaceful planting for a retired couple, with waves of soft, delicate shades of lilac, purple and white interplanted with gentle grasses to relax the mind and soothe the senses.

Recreate the fun-filled turf helix from The Playful Garden for the ultimate in garden play. Hopscotch-like patches of scented thyme release their perfume as little feet run over them, and there's even a tree to climb once you get to the middle.
