Although, having originally graduated as a Landscape Architect, Simon Walcot, has spent much time over recent years, practising as a Garden Designer for private clients. This breadth of experience enables him to engage in many tasks, from landscape design of commercial projects and large estates through to smaller more intimate private gardens.
Much of Simon’s inspiration stems from nature and his extensive travels. Artistic influences include: Goldsworthy, Hepworth; architects like Brannigan and Gaudi, and several garden designers/plantsmen such as Caruncho, Oudolf, Chatto and Bradley-Hole. Many of the gardens he has created have strong annual interest in terms of form and colour with an emphasis on low maintenance. Adopting a sustainable approach while using traditional, quality and often reclaimed materials, in an updated design.
In any space, the marriage of function and the aesthetic is key to a successful design. Furthermore, with the right context, proportions and movement within and around the space, the individual character of a garden can be fully experienced.
