Karoline Shepherd

Ann-Marie has designed two gardens for us and both times she just 'got' what we wanted straight away. The designs where completely different for each garden, but very appropriate for the style of house, surroundings and our life style. I would certainly use Ann-Marie's expertise again if we were to move house and design another [...]

Nick Fox

Ann-Marie did a comprehensive design and build development on our urban garden a number of years ago. Right from the start, the design phase was thorough, enjoyable and time was spent discussing ideas, laughing and having just one more glass of wine.

Plans for Small Gardens

Sandy Felton reviews a great design book for those small spaces in our life.

There are times when I have sat in my little piece of utopia and wondered what if? What if I could afford to consult a professional garden designer to do a complete make-over? What if I decided to completely change my cottage [...]

Stephen Lacey – The Telegraph

And I was again mesmerised by the sumptuous tones of Kelway's chestnut-brown, tall bearded iris 'Sultan's Palace' and semi-double, blood-red herbaceous peony 'Buckeye Belle', which Ann-Marie Powell showed exactly how to use in her British Heart Foundation garden: dotted like rubies through lime-green ferns.
