PORTFOLIO
This is a portfolio of some of the partnership's current
work. Examples include:
City and Courtyard Gardens
Many of our clients are looking for an oasis for their city
homes, a place in which to relax, entertain and enjoy interesting
planting with the minimum of maintenance. Over the years we have
created many such gardens using high quality materials,
imaginative artefacts and a unique selection of plants for each
and every project.
Large Country Gardens
The larger county garden has always been a particular passion for
Lucy Huntington. There is no doubt that working on many
such projects has enabled us to develop a great deal of
experience in developing both formal and informal layouts and
planting schemes. We are frequently able to take a completely
fresh look at the garden layout and to evolve, with the owners,
imaginative and practical solutions to seemingly intractable
problems.

Family Gardens
A family, young or old will place many demands on the garden
space. We always listen with great care to the needs and
aspirations of all our clients and evolve designs which fulfil their brief. We are mindful of the need to work within agreed
budgets and to explain the process by which the end result will
be achieved. Every garden is different and the layouts reflect
the owners desires, the garden might include a large play space
or abundant wildlife or a collection of rare and exotic plants or
organically grown vegetables or a combination of all of these.
Original Water Features
Over the years Lucy Huntington has created a number of fabulous
water features in her clients gardens. Lakes, ponds, ornamental
pools and fountains, rills, water staircases, wildlife ponds, bog
gardens - we have experience in designing all of these. The
specification for all water gardens and water features is of the
utmost importance, rest assured that we know what is needed and
have excellent contacts with the engineering experts whose input
is essential for the larger schemes.

Detailed Planting Plans
Lucy Huntington is well known for her skill as a planting
designer. Her encyclopaedic knowledge of plants, their
characteristics and specific growing requirements means that her
plant selections are made with all the relevant criteria in mind
- and always including clients particular preferences. Garden
owners, professional gardeners and landscape contractors have
always found Lucy's planting plans easy to follow. The
readability of planting plans is essential if the precision
invested in the plan is to be translated 'on the ground'.

Herb Gardens
Lucy Huntington has had a life long passion for herbs, including
Francis and Lucy having their own herb nursery in the early '90s.
The expertise in growing and using herbs has translated into

for gardens open to the public.

Parkland and Arboretum Planting
In the UK, North America and Australia the Lucy Huntington
Partnership has had the opportunity to tackle large scale
plantings of parkland and arboreta. The ability to develop these
schemes is firmly based on an appreciation of the long term
impact of the plantings and the practical experience of having
advised on the management of estates extending over a period of
many years.
Public and Demonstration Gardens
The challenge of designing gardens at Chelsea Flower Show and
Hampton Court Flower Show has taught us much about creating
spectacle, drama and impact in the Show garden. This
understanding of that which excites the public has been used by
us in designing demonstration gardens at a number of locations in
the UK and overseas.
