Welcome to VB Garden Design

VB Garden Design is run by me Wendy von Buren, a young professional with a multiple skill set including garden design, project monitoring and accountancy.   I can work closely with quality landscape, lighting and drainage professionals to see a project through from inception to completion.

I am a creative person who loves translating ideas down onto paper, through hand drawn designs and finally making these a reality. My passion is shaping and creating ideas for your garden so that you can relax, enjoy, have fun and entertain.

I can work with you to transform your whole garden or a specific section of it, manage the tender process with contractors, project monitor the build phase and then source plants to make the design come alive.

Gardening has always been in my blood, since a very early age watching (and I think assisting) my mother transform our family garden into a tranquil but fun space for all ages. This early introduction grabbed my attention to go on to study and pass the RHS Certificate in Horticulture with distinction and create gardens of my own.

I believe that my previous experience as an accountant and project manager provides me with the skills to see any project through every step of the way adhering to timescales and budgets and with a specific focus on detail and quality. Using excellent communication skills I hope to make the process as fun and stress free for my client as possible.

My full focus on garden design started in 2012 where I went back to college and retrained as a garden designer with Moira Farnham and Robin Williams at Painshill Park.

I obtained my Garden Design Diploma in September 2013 graduating with credits. Whilst completing my training I have taken on several projects both here and abroad. Click here to view Projects.

In 2015 I took on my first show garden and was awarded an RHS Silver Gilt Medal and the People’s Choice Award.

VB Garden Design is based in Bromley, Kent where the majority of my projects come up however, I am happy to travel into London, Sussex and Essex and even overseas.
