Garden Designer Based in County Durham

“I see my role as a garden artist designing gardens with an artist’s eye”

Marie Bate

RHS.G.Hort, BTEC Garden Design, ‘A’ Fine Art

Damson Garden Design was set up by Marie, originally an interior and textile artist. With a lifelong love of nature, my interest grew and my passion for beautiful green spaces continued. Studying RHS horticulture and Garden Design at Houghall Durham, I expanded upon my creative flare and during my studies, won awards for contributions to art and horticulture. All this has given me a unique understanding of how to create stunning green spaces as individual as my clients.

The Complete Picture

My creative background enables me to develop a garden concept that links gardens to interiors offering furnishing design and finishing touches to complete the picture. My environmental pledge, where possible, is to focus on sustainability so that my gardens whilst good for the sole, are great for the planet.
