A concept design was commissioned to compliment a barn conversion within a working farm and self-catering accommodation. The owners of the barn wished to create a walled, courtyard garden which would replace a large, windy expanse of gravel adjacent to the barn.

A contemporary style house currently being built and still very much work in progress. We are very excited about this project and have produced concept landscape sketches so far, looking forward to the detailed design once the house is complete.

Two clients living in new build, executive homes required rear garden designs which would reflect their homes and family lifestyle. Concept designs were drawn up and final detailed proposals were carried out by one of our hard landscaping contractors. Plants were sourced by Artemis and planting implemented by us. We continue to maintain the borders […]

We enjoy working on gardens of all scales. The garden in Rickyard Road belongs to a couple who are extremely keen on wildlife and happily share their space with the hedgehogs, squirrels, frogs, newts and all the birds that visit, nest and hibernate there. However the man-nature balance having tipped slightly the wrong way, we […]

A planting design was required by our client in a challenging north east facing, sloping site to fit in with their new property. The site overlooks paddocks and woodland lining the Grand Union Canal. Terraces were already in place so not much scope for a change in layout but the existing features have been softened […]

Preparation of soft landscaping proposals for a planning application for a 6 bedroomed house, following an Arboricultural report carried out in association with Steve Jowers Associates. The site was occupied by existing barns and stables, belonging to the owners of the adjacent dwelling. The brief was to create a formal garden adjacent to the new […]

A detailed hard and soft landscaping layout designed for a building plot, to accommodate a proposed large, family home. A tree survey was carried out which enabled us to design sensitively with the surroundings. Existing boundary vegetation and enhancement planting within the site were incorporated into the proposals to enable the new building to integrate […]

A repeat client who likes to move around the county! Detailed designs were drawn up by Artemis to compliment a new conservatory on a traditional cottage and bring new life to a tired but well used family garden.

A new extension to the school resulted in a ‘blank canvas’ area of garden for the school. Consulting with the school, Artemis designed, project managed and planted the space to include raised beds for the pupils to grow vegetables and an area where parents can relax while waiting. The design follows radial lines thrown off […]

Backgammon is an extremely exciting self-build project by a couple who both work in the environmental sector. It aims to ‘bring together the best in contemporary architecture, tried and tested materials and methods and state-of-the-art technology to create a spacious, comfortable home with minimal impact on the environment’. With an existing new lawn in place, […]

A mature, sloping garden where the owners wished to replant tired and overgrown borders but work with existing trees and planting where possible. Artemis’ design evolved from initial site visit and tree survey to conceptual design, detailed design through to project build, project management and a full planting scheme.

The Head at Collingtree Primary school came to Artemis as their school was in a relatively built up area and although they had a large playing field, a corner of their site was not being utilised as they might. Their ‘South Lawn’ contained a number of important trees and was fairly wild as hard to […]

The Friends of Newnham School asked Artemis to create an outdoor classroom for growing and learning on a small, currently underused banked area at the front of the school and rework ‘Katie’s Garden’ creating a secluded, quiet, sensory storytelling area. The odd angles and gradient of the bank proved somewhat challenging, but children are now […]

To design and build a rear and large front garden for varying uses by different generations. To break up an essentially flat open space and define different areas for these uses from a fun play area to a controlled ‘adult’ space. To incorporate large planting areas for a ‘plant-a-holic’ and allow for some growing of […]

To produce an overall concept masterplan for the entire school grounds, and a detailed design for a sensory garden. The main construction work has now been completed, and the school are looking forward to being involved in the planting and artworks.

Located within Easton Neston, a Grade II* Listed Park and Garden to the east of Towcester town centre and the main A5 London Holyhead Trunk Road. We were invited […]

Commissioned by Northampton Arts Collective (NAC) as part of their refurbishments to this newly established Regional Arts Venue in the heart of Northampton’s town centre. The concept for this contemporary courtyard combined the brief, the context and aesthetics of the old Fishmarket building, the ‘sense of place’, functionality and a desire by Artemis to create […]

In 2002 Artemis won a competition to exhibit at the Inaugural International Festival of the Gardens at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire. Based on ‘Ideas to Steal’ this 3 month long ground breaking event was inspired by the ‘Festival International des Jardins’ at Chaumont-sur-Loire in France and ‘Les Jardin de Metis’ in Canada. It offered landscape […]

This is a large evolving family garden which incorporates mixed circulation areas for play, entertaining, planting combinations and experimentation, vegetable growing and recycling. The garden has developed over a period of 20 years from a tired, run down Lock Keeper’s cottage garden to an exciting outdoor space which gives Sally the chance to experiment with […]
