CONSULTATION
Horticultural & landscape consultation.
Experience, creative instinct and a fresh perspective for ambitious landscapes.
Our specialist horticultural consultation service brings Gold & Wild’s expertise in naturalistic planting to larger residential developments, shared green spaces and landscape projects where planting can play a defining role.
Led by RHS Gold Medal-winning garden designer Jon Davies, we bring more than 20 years of experience to work alongside architects, developers, designers and project teams — helping establish a strong horticultural direction that brings together planting, ecology, seasonality and the way people will experience the space.
CLEAR HORTICULTURAL DIRECTION
Not every project needs another lengthy design process.
Sometimes what’s needed is an experienced eye, a clear point of view and the confidence to see what a landscape could become. Once we understand the site, its practical requirements and the atmosphere you want to create, we can quickly identify opportunities, challenge assumptions and establish a strong direction for the landscape.
Our approach combines deep horticultural knowledge with creative instinct, helping make planting an integral part of a project’s identity rather than something considered at the end.
NATURALISTIC LANDSCAPES WITH PURPOSE
Advice rooted in the principles that run throughout Gold & Wild’s work.
Abundant and resilient planting, ecological value, biodiversity and landscapes that respond intelligently to a changing climate. We can contribute at an early conceptual stage or bring a fresh horticultural perspective to an existing landscape proposal.
That might mean developing the planting character for a residential development, bringing life and identity to an underused communal space, strengthening an existing scheme or helping a wider design team find a more ambitious naturalistic direction.
