We design gardens where people and nature can flourish

Portfolio

Selected case studies of our Landscape and Planting Design commissions across Cardiff and South Wales.

At Folium Gardens, our Landscape and Planting Designs are all about creating beautiful outdoor spaces where people and nature can flourish. From contemporary courtyards and roof terraces to more traditional country gardens, our designs are tailored to your preferences and needs.

We take the time to truly understand your aspirations, working closely with you to create a garden that reflects your lifestyle and values. With our expertise in creating wildlife-friendly gardens, choosing us means investing in a space that’s both stunning and ecologically responsible.

Our bespoke planting schemes are created for the style you prefer and whatever maintenance level suits you best. Whether naturalistic, traditional cottage garden, or contemporary, our designs embrace biodiversity, by incorporating native and perennial plants that support local wildlife as well as enhancing ecosystem resilience.
