This family garden began as a hand-drawn concept by Janina Baker, designed for practical, elegant modern family living — incorporating a gentle access ramp for comfortable movement while keeping clean architectural lines throughout. Every detail was hand-drawn before work began, from layout and materials to the planting scheme. Working alongside our build team, the concept became a functional family garden with spacious lawns, raised white-render planters, generous entertaining space and a strong connection between house and landscape — balancing beauty, accessibility and everyday usability.

Designed by Janina Baker and built by Baker Landscape Design

“I am extremely delighted with Janina’s professional, warm and friendly approach. I highly recommend her — which I have done to neighbours, friends and family. She is currently redesigning my son’s and friend’s gardens.”
