Kent family garden: Creating a safe, stylish, and functional outdoor space for all ages
Project overview
Our clients, a young family with children, approached Wild Butterfly Gardening with a desire to transform their large garden in Kent into a welcoming outdoor space that catered to the needs of every family member. They envisioned a garden that was safe and enjoyable for their children, offered stylish and comfortable areas for relaxation and entertainment, and promoted biodiversity and sustainability.
Design process and result
The design process began with a thorough consultation with the family to understand their needs, preferences, and aspirations for their garden. A site survey followed, assessing the existing conditions, soil quality, and microclimates in the space.
Our team developed a custom garden design that struck the perfect balance between safety, functionality, and aesthetics. We worked closely with our clients throughout the design process, incorporating their feedback and ensuring their vision was brought to life.
Garden Features and Family-Friendly Spaces
The final design of the Kent Family Garden incorporated the following features, thoughtfully selected to cater to the family's diverse needs and create a harmonious outdoor environment:
- A whimsical natural play area with a playhouse, potion pot and climbing logs
- Beautifully designed patio areas with comfortable seating, perfect for family gatherings, outdoor dining, and relaxation
- A dedicated zone for growing a variety of flowers, vegetables, and herbs, encouraging the family to connect with nature and enjoy the fruits of their labor
- Wildlife-friendly features, such as birdhouses, a small pond, and long flowering plants to attract pollinators and support local biodiversity
- Sustainable and low-maintenance planting schemes, utilizing plants selected for heavy clay soil rather than drought tolerant, and carefully selected perennials for year-round color and visual interest
Project Completion and Client Satisfaction
Upon completion of the project, the family was delighted with their transformed garden. The children enjoyed their safe and engaging play area, while the adults relished the stylish and relaxing spaces designed for entertaining and unwinding. The family also reported an increase in visits from birds, butterflies, and other wildlife, highlighting the success of the biodiversity-promoting features implemented by Wild Butterfly Gardening.
The Kent Family Garden project showcases Wild Butterfly Gardening's ability to create stunning, functional, and eco-friendly gardens that cater to the unique needs of our clients and enhance the outdoor living experience for the entire family.
