Anna
Garden planning
Listens to how the garden is used, then brings the layout, materials and everyday priorities into one plan.
A local practice, imagined
Good gardens.
Everyday life.
Fold & Fern imagines a small Baildon landscape practice with a simple starting point: outside should feel like part of your home.
Listen first. Make space.
Good gardens
begin with people.
In our fictional story, Anna and Ben kept seeing the same thing: ordinary gardens with plenty of potential, but no clear place to sit, walk or grow.
They imagined a practice that would start with the everyday. The view from the kitchen. A route for the bins. The sunny corner you never quite use.
Sam brings the planting and its ongoing care into the conversation. Together, the team turns those small observations into a considered plan.
A small team, clearly imagined
Different hands.
A shared approach.
Ben
Landscape construction
Thinks through the practical work, access and agreed specification before a spade goes into the ground.
Sam
Planting & aftercare
Considers the light, soil and care a planted garden needs as it changes through the seasons.

A favourite corner. A clearer path.
