Our Reason Why
Have you ever visited a truly great garden? Perhaps a place like Sissinghurst Castle or Great Dixter? The kind of place where every plant seems to be buzzing with life, where colours and textures shift with the seasons, and where you feel a deep sense of calm just being there. These gardens aren’t just beautiful; they’re bustling ecosystems, designed to support wildlife and build healthy, living soil.
We believe that this kind of garden shouldn’t be a world away. At The Lewisham Garden Company, we want to bring these principles of exceptional, nature-led gardening right to your doorstep here in Lewisham.
The reality for many of us is that the garden is another job that takes up our spare time. But it should be a place to play, relax, and entertain. Your garden needs to work for you. There is a temptation to cover the garden in plastic and concrete, which reduces the maintenance, but it also removes life from the space. A concrete garden is silent when it should be full of birdsong, hot in the sun, and hard underfoot when it should be soft and green.
We offer a clear alternative. We want to create gardens that are not just outdoor rooms, but living spaces where you can reconnect with nature, immerse yourself in plants, and find a quiet moment of peace in your busy life.
This is what we’re about.
Our Three Core Values
1. People
A garden is for people. We design spaces that work for you, your family, and your friends. We want to create a garden you love being in—a place where you can relax, play, and connect with the life all around you. Your garden should be a source of joy, not a chore.
2. Planet
We believe a garden should be a positive force for the environment. That’s why our approach is built on sustainability. We never use peat, a vital habitat in our natural world. All of our tools and vehicles are battery-operated, which means less air and noise pollution for your neighbourhood. We also make a conscious effort to source our plants and materials from local suppliers around London, which helps us to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum.
3. Horticultural Excellence
We are dedicated to the craft of gardening. Our team is committed to continuous learning, always developing our skills to ensure we’re providing the best possible support for your garden. We’re passionate about planting for biodiversity and creating gardens that have beauty and interest all year round.
We know that a beautiful garden is a living, breathing thing. It’s an investment in your home, your well-being, and your local environment. If you believe, as we do, that gardens should be full of life, beauty, and purpose, then we’d love to hear from you.
Whether you’re looking to transform your own garden or you’re a gardener who shares our vision and wants to join our team, let’s start a conversation.
