A gold medal winner at the Chelsea Flower Show, Juliet has overseen the project from initial design to opened gardens. She has more than 20 years’ experience, winning awards for her imaginative solutions to complex garden problems.

She said: “I was given a space and was tasked with bringing to life a vision of beautiful wedding gardens that looked great all year round.

“My plans are always based around people being able to make the most of the spaces that we are designing and I’m delighted with the outcome. I hope visitors enjoy the gardens for many years to come.”

The gardens will in future feature arches of soft wisteria to walk through to join the outside ceremony space, which is licensed for 150 guests.
