Prairie-Style & Secret Garden, Findon Valley

Reclaiming an Overgrown Garden

This northwest-facing garden in Worthing was well-established and overgrown. The clients wanted their garden back! 10 years ago they designed it including a secret garden, but over the years new structures like an extension and a conservatory had disrupted the original layout.

The solution was to create a journey through a gravel area with prairie-style planting and a hidden courtyard — a secret garden within a garden. The design balances low-maintenance naturalistic planting with structured hardscaping, creating distinct zones that flow together naturally.
