Fig Garden Design
was founded by
Ali & Ben
Fig garden design was founded by Ali and Ben at the Oxford College of Garden Design ten years ago. Their distinct approaches formed a client-centered garden design practice. This partnership has evolved, creating spaces that reflect the needs and desires of their users. Though Ali has shifted focus, she occasionally contributes to Fig projects, maintaining a spirit of collaboration and creativity at our core.
About Us
Ben is the creative force behind Fig Garden Design Ltd, a garden design studio nestled in the picturesque Cotswolds. With a deep-seated passion for nature and an innovative spirit, Ben approaches each project with an intuitive understanding of both the client and the landscape. He believes that every garden is a reflection of its surroundings and the people who inhabit them.
At Fig Garden Design, our philosophy centres on the idea that first impressions and emotional resonance are crucial to creating outdoor spaces. We focus on crafting gardens that not only captivate the eye but also provide a serene environment for entertaining and relaxation.
By truly engaging with our clients and understanding their unique needs, we design bespoke gardens that harmonise beautifully with their environment.
Ben's friendly and approachable nature imbues the design process with a sense of fun. Each project becomes a collaborative journey, allowing clients to express their vision while we bring it to life through innovative designs that embrace the beauty of nature. At Fig Garden Design, we pride ourselves on creating truly unique gardens that inspire joy and tranquility.
