At PGM Gardens, the design process is more than creating a practical pleasing garden, but to develop a garden that transforms people’s anxieties to create a sense of well-being and a sense of belonging. Designing gardens with the ability to identify oneself with, to connect with the garden and open space, to stimulate our senses and improve our outlook, landscapes that become meaningful, inspirational and pleasurable, while invigorating our senses.

When our sense of observation has been stimulated, the garden begins to stimulate other senses in us, to smell, touch and taste. These elements combined together encourage us to engage in our gardens and utilise them effectively.

We therefore design with these factors in mind. Considering the surrounding, existing landscape, the structural architecture of the current dwelling, the long-term purpose of the garden and of course, the aesthetic appeal. Where gardens become a place of meaning, a haven from life’s responsibilities, challenges and anxieties. Developing a real connection with our space and finding pleasure in the presence of, a sense of ownership, a sense of partnership and a sense of achievement.

From start to finish we felt confident Peter understood our needs and was also able to advise us of what would work and what wouldn’t. Needless to say we are totally in love with the end result. Thanks Peter!
