You’ll see WHY we’re doing it

Few things are more important than a healthy, beautiful environment that supports life in abundance.  Many of us are fortunate enough to own our own slice of this environment that we call our gardens.

As custodians of this precious piece of the Earth, we have a duty to ensure we make the most of it, making our gardens as good (in all senses of the word!) as they can possibly be.

And so at Gardens for Good we get up everyday to help you transform your garden into a more beautiful, natural legacy that enhances your life, along with the lives of all those who visit.

Reviews

It saved me money in the build and also gave me the ability to appoint a landscaper of my choosing

I would imagine that many people see using a design consultant as an expensive luxury, however I firmly believe that it saved me money in the build and also gave me the ability to appoint a landscaper of my choosing to achieve the best value and service.  

Karen Hughes, Northamptonshire

“We are delighted with the design that you produced”

Our property was new and we simply had a grass lawn at the rear which was a blank canvas. We are delighted with the design that you produced and with the transformation of our garden.  We were impressed at your professional service and very grateful for your help with the planting scheme.

Paul & Val Lazarus, Oxfordshire

The Gardens for Good Team

Joe Francis

Creative Director

Joe is the Founder of Gardens for Good and the person you’ll meet with directly when planning your project.  Joe works on all the designs personally and has over 16 years’ experience overseeing the implementation phase of garden projects.  He has a great sensitivity to peoples needs and a keen eye for detail, which is vital in interpreting each client’s requirements into gardens they love.   Joe was born in Oxford and, after some year living away, has moved back with his wife and three children.  He started the business back in 2005 to harness his passion for design and the environment.  He loves using the medium of garden design to bring people and wildlife together in a way that is beneficial for all. Joe has a Degree in Product Design, enabling him to think a little differently when it comes to creating innovative garden designs.   His accolades include Silver and Gold Medal-winning gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, a Silver Medal at RHS Hampton Court, Silver Gilt at the Gardeners world Live Exhibition, Gold Medal for Northamptonshire in Bloom and a Silver Medal at The BALI Landscaping Awards.   Joe says “Garden design is a real passion for me and to now be offering that in my home town of Oxford feels very special.  Building Gardens for Good into the business it is today has not been easy, in fact it’s been one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done, however, it makes it all worth it when you see the results that our clients and friends experience.  Meticulous attention to detail to every step of the process means you’ll have a great experience along the journey as well as a great garden at the end of it.”

Sinead Francis

Sales & Marketing Director

Sinead has been actively involved with Gardens for Good since 2009 and brings a wide range of experience and expertise to the company. After earning an Honours Degree in Marketing Design, she honed her skills in various divisions including Event Management, Customer Relations, Product Development and Marketing Communications.   Sinead is very much a people person and enjoys spending time with friends and meeting new people while at the same time being a fantastic mother to her three children. She enjoys an active lifestyle and using her creativity for fun as well as in work, she is also very well organised, which helps with the smooth running operations of the business!   Sinead says “I’m very excited with what we are creating at Gardens for Good and feel very fortunate to be a part of it.  It’s great to be living down in Oxford and having moved our garden design busness here (along with our family!) we’re looking forward to the next stage of our business.  We’ve worked tirelessly to build a business which reflects our values and passion and it’s so rewarding to see it all coming to fruition. I hope you enjoy your experience with Gardens for Good as much as we do!”

Environmental statement

Gardens for Good has been born out of a deep love, care and respect for our natural environment. As a result, we’re hugely conscious of our environmental footprint.  We always try to tread as lightly as possible on the Earth and we’re always mindful of ways that we can elevate both our operations and designs in a way that is environmentally conscious and, wherever possible, beneficial.

We’re constantly looking for more sustainable ways of doing things.  We believe that innovation and positive action are the key to driving positive change in the face of our current environmental challenges. We are always researching, training and learning new and improved ways of doing things to help us benefit ‘the greater good’ so we are always open to ideas and suggestions on ways we can continue to do this.

Please, if you have any ideas or suggestions you’d like to share with us about this, do drop us a line and let us know your thoughts, we’d love to hear from you!  Email: studio@gardensforgood.co.uk

Not surprisingly here at gardens for Good, we’re hugely conscious of our environmental footprint. That’s why we always make absolutely certain our products are sourced and built primarily locally with as little packaging as possible and implementing ideas into our designs that are environmentally sensitive. If you’d like to talk to us about this with direct relevance to your garden, please get in touch.
