All great ideas start as a seed.
Every great garden starts with a plan — and we’re here to help yours grow beautifully, sustainably, and in harmony with nature.
About us
Fallow & Fern Gardens was founded by Carly, a creative garden designer and horticulturist with training from Bicton College, where she studied RHS Level 2 Horticulture and Garden Design.
Before working with plants, Carly was an artist — a background that now shapes her approach to design, composition, and the beauty of natural spaces.
Her passion for native species, wildlife, and the delicate balance of ecosystems led her to garden design and maintenance, where creativity meets care for the planet.
Whether she’s sketching new ideas or working with her hands in the soil, Carly finds joy in transforming outdoor spaces and seeing nature thrive. For her, every project is a chance to make a tangible, positive difference.
Our ethos
At Fallow & Fern Gardens, sustainability is non-negotiable. We work entirely chemical-free, using natural, hands-on methods that protect pollinators, soil health, and local ecosystems. If a product harms wildlife, it doesn’t belong in our gardens.
Our approach is simple: gardens should be good for people and nature alike. Every design and maintenance plan is tailored to you and your garden’s needs — balancing beauty, biodiversity, and practicality.
We pride ourselves on being eco-conscious, creative, and reliable, with a focus on helping clients reconnect with the natural world, right outside their door.
Our promise
At Fallow & Fern Gardens, we believe that beautiful gardens should work with nature, not against it. Our promise is simple: to create and care for outdoor spaces that are sustainable, biodiverse, and deeply personal.
We value honesty, professionalism, and strong working relationships — taking pride in delivering a service that leaves every client happy and every garden healthier. Whether we’re restoring a tired border or reimagining an entire space, our goal is to help you rediscover the joy of your garden — a place where you can unwind, connect with nature, and watch life thrive around you.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. If a project compromises our values, we’ll always choose the planet first.
