“Harmony in Nature, Elegance in Design – Your Garden, Your Sanctuary”
At Folium Gardens, our Landscape and Planting Designs are all about creating beautiful outdoor spaces where people and nature can flourish. With this principle in mind, our design process involves a thoughtful balance between human enjoyment and ecological sustainability.
Or designs embrace biodiversity, by incorporating native and perennial plants that support local wildlife as well as enhancing ecosystem resilience. To this end, an important and integral part of our garden and planting design process is fostering an harmonious relationship between humans and nature.
Sustainable gardening practices, such as companion planting to avoid the need for chemical pesticides and herbicides, the careful use of planting design to reduce pressure on resources such as water, are essential for reducing environmental impact. Coupled with a naturalistic landscaping approach, this enhances the garden’s beauty while fostering a sense of tranquility and connection with nature.
