A garden design and make practice in Devon that creates unique, finely detailed atmospheric gardens and landscapes. Ameld weave an organic ecological aesthetic that responds to the site and provides for a full diversity of life. Planted layered environments growing as/within sculptural shapes, providing atmosphere and lasting beauty within varied locations and found habitats.
For the past 15 years carbon light methods of making have stimulated emergent natural solutions. Adapting available materials and building in provision for the future have been at the heart of the making process. Change is a constant to be designed in.
