Beautiful, bespoke garden design from Surrey-based garden designer Selina Botham at Designs For All Seasons, created to complement your home and enhance your lifestyle. Stylish, neat garden design with order and structure to create impact with exuberant bursts of colour, making a strong statement with dramatic lighting, sculptures and water features.
With a life-long passion for gardening, Surrey-based Selina Botham studied garden design at Merrist Wood College in Guildford and qualified with distinction. She has worked on a varied portfolio of projects ranging from award-winning show gardens, large country gardens, bird friendly family gardens and landscaping for new build projects.
The first step of the garden design process is to phone to discuss your garden and to arrange an initial consultation. This is typically 1.5-2 hours and gives you the opportunity to meet me and discuss your garden, explaining your needs and requirements. I will give an initial assessment of the key features of your garden and advice on budget and the best approach.
Set in a semi rural spot in West End, Esher; the client wanted a traditional country garden, a summer house and lots of routes around as she knew she wanted to spend as much time as she could outside with her large extended family and young grandchildren. The new design divided the garden into several areas with a large terrace for family gatherings with a traditional parterre planted with scented roses, lavender and soft perennials.
High on the list of requirements for this family was space for parties. The house was being remodelled and the garden needed to be completely redone to compliment the new house. The garden was large but completely flat and featureless and had serious problems of overlooking along the longest and most visible boundary.

Choosing Selina to design my garden was one of my best ever decisions. I am completely thrilled and cannot recommend her and Sacha highly enough. Selina understood my wants and needs before they had even properly formed in my mind. Her professionalism, creativity and attention to detail are truly impressive. Her constant but gentle oversight of the excellent gardening team (Distinct Landscape and Build) was very reassuring. The whole process has been a pleasure and utterly painless - no doubt due to Selina's professionalism. Instead of a "back yard" I now sit in a contemporary woodland oasis. Thank

Selina designed our garden for us which got installed late last year - it was previously a "newbuild" garden i.e. mainly grass and no design to speak of. I have waited until now to write this review so we could see how the garden developed through spring. It is amazing. Different plants have come into flower as the months have gone by including some meadowland features. It is only late May and so we are looking forward to seeing changes through the rest of the year. Clever stuff. It has completely transformed our enjoyment and use of the garden. In case you are contemplating a garden re-design

Selina carefully listened and absorbed our aspirations for a complete overhaul of our rather plain garden. Using her creative flair, she then came up with a design that exceeded our expectations but which nevertheless adhered to the core principles that we had set out. The final design, after a few adjustments, was radical but not outlandish and deliverable within our budget.
Selina continued to help with the selection of landscapers and regularly supervised the work being carried out to ensure that it kept to the brief, whilst also being flexible to accommodate the suggestions of both ourselves
