Elevated Garden Design for North and West London

Welcome to My Gardening Story

My name is Tom Winter. I am a Plantsman, Gardener and Garden Designer.

An early career in Wildlife Conservation developed into over 25yrs working in the landscape industry. I built, planted and maintained countless gardens in the first half of my career. Before founding Naturally Inspired, I spent 14 years as the driving force behind one of London’s most respected landscape firms. As Designer/Estimator and General Manager, I was responsible for the brand’s reputation, overseeing the design and delivery of thousands of gardens across West London. More recently I set up a successful Planting Service for a popular London Garden Centre. Naturally Inspired is the evolution of that experience—bringing that same rigorous operational standards to a more personal, design-led boutique service. This deep experience and broad perspective guides the process of every garden I’m involved with. 

I approach all individual projects in their own right. Comfortable working on broad range of briefs and budgets. I specialise in projects in and around North and West London. Variety is the spice of life, so whether you’re after a natural, gentle style, or something very modern and edgy, I’m going to be excited about it. Get in touch and let’s get cracking!

For those of us who gain solace in nature, gardens are an important or even essential resource. A place to unwind, commune with nature and recharge.

The Naturally Inspired Approach

GARDENS SIGNIFICANT BEYOND THE MATERIAL

  • Design with Purpose We use design as a vehicle to solve layout and structural challenges, ensuring your garden is as functional for entertaining as it is beautiful to look at. Unlike many design studios, we provide only what you require for a competent landscaper to build your garden. Our modular framework ensures you are never charged for things you don’t need: It’s much better to spend money on your garden!

  • Horticultural Soul Planting is our ultimate goal: It’s the living, glorious heart of a garden. We select species that will thrive in your specific garden conditions, prioritizing your unique style and requirements, biodiversity, soil health, and year-round interest. Not to mention looking fantastic too!

  • Long-Term Value We don’t just "install" a garden: We set it on a path to maturity, using proven materials that age gracefully. Plants are thoughtfully selected, reliable and planted with care. Our designs are a deliberate investment in your property’s value and your well-being. Our objective is to provide excellent service and long term value. We’d like you to be recommending us to friends and neighbors for years to come.
