“Harmony in Nature, Elegance in Design – Your Garden, Your Sanctuary”
At Folium Gardens our Landscape and Planting Design for Cardiff and surrounding areas are all about spaces where people and nature can flourish. With this in mind our process involves a thoughtful balance between human enjoyment and ecological sustainability. Accordingly our practice is to embrace biodiversity by incorporating native plants that support local wildlife and enhance ecosystem resilience. To that end creating wildlife habitats within the garden is an important and integral part of our design process , with the aim of fostering a harmonious relationship between humans and wildlife.
Sustainable practices, like avoiding chemical use and implementing water-efficient irrigation, are essential for reducing environmental impact. Another key point is applying permaculture principles, things like companion planting and integrated pest management, further promotes self-sustaining ecosystems. Coupled with a naturalistic landscaping approach enhances the garden’s beauty while fostering a sense of tranquility and connection with nature.
