Selina Botham is an award-winning garden designer with a love for creating outdoor spaces that feel both timeless and personal. Over the years, her designs have been recognised by the RHS and the Society of Garden Designers, but what matters most to her is helping people feel a stronger connection to nature at home.
Blending creativity with a practical approach, Selina designs gardens that grow with the seasons and with the people who use them. She believes that a garden should not only be beautiful, but also a place of wellbeing, reflection, and joy.
As the founder of Designs for All Seasons, Selina brings this ethos into every project, working closely with clients to create spaces that truly belong to them.
At Designs for All Seasons, we believe a garden should be more than just an outdoor space - it should be a living, breathing extension of your home, designed to bring beauty, joy, and a deep connection to nature throughout the seasons.
Our approach works with, rather than against, the natural world, crafting spaces that are not only visually stunning but also rich in biodiversity and year-round interest.

The timeline for designing and building a garden varies depending on its size and complexity. The design process alone typically takes 1–3 months, allowing time for consultations, concept development, revisions, and final plans. Once the design is complete, the construction phase can take anywhere from 6 to 18 weeks, but can extend significantly depending on factors such as the scope of work, materials, and weather conditions. In many cases, elements of the design phase, such as sourcing materials or finalising planting plans, can overlap with the build, helping to streamline the process.
