May & Watts Garden Design is based in Hartfield, East Sussex, our client base is widespread. In 2000, we celebrated the millennium by staging a show garden at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show for which we achieved a Silver Gilt. In 2002, we were employed by Loire Valley Wines to create a show garden at Hampton Court, for which we were awarded a Silver, two more gardens followed in 2003, (Silver) and 2004 (Silver-Gilt).
As part of the marketing strategy, a national competition was run; the prize; a garden designed by May & Watts Garden Design. These RHS gardens can be viewed on our website. In 2006, May & Watts Garden Design were asked to submit a plan for The Teaching Garden adjacent to the new glasshouse at the RHS Wisley Gardens.
May & Watts Garden Design specialise in country gardens both modern and traditional, the planting schemes are beautifully realised both visually and horticulturally, and as always clients' preference at the forefront of our design process.

Our aim in this design was to reflect the contemporary nature of the house, whilst retaining the sense of an English country garden. The front garden's modernity was achieved by use of textural paving set into selected light grey pebbles which is enhanced by architectural planting of silver white hues, and a sweeping drive of silver gravel.
In 2011, Diana May and Mark Watts of May & Watts Garden Design were commissioned to design a contemporary scheme for the walled garden. The sloping, south facing walled garden is situated in the 'foothills' of the property, and this genius loci provides the initial inspiration for the design, linking this area with the wider garden.
We were asked to create an herbaceous garden that would be attractive to visitors from May to September. The rectangular garden was previously cut in half by two squares which gave a truncated appearance, and was not inviting. We wanted to encourage visitors to see the West Garden as one entity, and to this end, we joined the two lawns, changing their shape to an ellipse.
