About Us
Founded in 2008 by Selina Botham, Designs for all Seasons specialises in creating stunning, sustainable gardens. Based in Surrey, Selina now works alongside her son Henry, continuing the family-led business’s tradition of excellence and innovation in garden design.
Design Philosophy
At Design for all Seasons, we believe that gardens should be both functional and beautiful. Our designs emphasise sustainability, biodiversity, and a deep connection to nature. We start with the soil and the setting, creating thoughtful, manageable, and ecologically beneficial spaces.

Her professionalism, creativity and attention to detail are truly impressive. Her constant but gentle oversight of the excellent gardening team was very reassuring. The whole process has been a pleasure and utterly painless – no doubt due to Selina’s professionalism. Instead of a “back yard” I now sit in a contemporary woodland oasis.
Thank you Selina – we are so grateful.

Our Services
Our hallmark projects feature sweeping borders of perennials and native multi-stems, enhanced with sculptural elements. We create low-maintenance gardens with drifts of perennials and grasses, perfect for clients desiring minimal upkeep. Specialising in timeless, contemporary designs, we cater to clients seeking sustainable, biodiverse spaces that reflect modern aesthetics. Using local or recycled materials, we avoid temporary solutions and reuse site resources to enhance ecological conditions.
Our Commitment
Rooted in sustainability, our design philosophy focuses on conservation and the therapeutic power of plants. We create gardens that support wildlife, promote biodiversity, and aim for a biodiversity net gain. With expertise in project management, technical drawings, and on-site delivery, we manage every aspect from design to completion. Our gardens offer immersive nature experiences, integrating forest bathing concepts to promote relaxation. We believe in the importance of connecting your home to the garden so look to design transitional spaces that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor areas, enhancing the living experience.
Our Process
We form deep connections with clients, discovering their garden’s meaning and incorporating unique features and styles. Each project is approached with emotional sensitivity to place and people, fostering an emotional connection between them and nature. We will guide you through the process, taking the time to listen and to understand what your requirements are and the ambiance you want to create. We carefully assess the garden’s current merits, using creative problem solving and design skills to unlock your garden’s full potential and produce your perfect outdoor space.
