What makes us different?

A more considered way of gardening - we’re proud to do things differently.

Live Wild & Grow began in 2005, and keen to make our mark in gardening, we started out working in a more traditional way. It quickly became clear that working against nature simply didn’t create gardens that lasted.

Today, we take a different approach. Every garden is shaped around its environment, encouraging rich, diverse spaces that are designed to be lived in and enjoyed. Wildlife is part of the picture, from pollinators to birds, creating gardens that feel alive and in balance.

With over 20 years of experience, our fantastic team brings a wealth of knowledge, care and attention to every space we design, plant and maintain.

Our work is rooted in regenerative practices, improving soil health, managing pests naturally and supporting wildlife throughout the seasons, all while keeping gardens functional, well cared for and beautifully considered.

If you’re looking to reconnect your garden with nature and help it flourish, we’d love to work with you.
