Consultations |
I have been designing, creating and nurturing
gardens for twenty five years, advocating a sensitive, evolutionary
process of development
that supports simple designs. These centre on the harmonious use of
colour and the innovative use of grasses and organic materials such
as coppiced hazel and willow. I increasingly focus on making romantic
and naturalistic gardens where wildlife conservation is foremost,
and my speciality is creating and restoring traditional wildflower
meadows. In 2001 Pam Lewis was featured in
House and Garden as one of Britain's top 50 garden designers.
