GARDEN DESIGN IN BUCKINGHAM & SURROUNDING AREAS
We are Pitchfork & Pencil and we’ve been creating wonderful gardens across the region.
Trained in Horticulture, Landscape Design and Estate Management, we plan, design and create gardens and landscapes from the smallest border to the grandest garden.
Whether it’s designing a new planting scheme or advice on pruning an over-grown orchard – our family business is the four of us, so you get a personal service, every time.

“Hollie & Andy transformed our rather boring garden into a beautiful space that enormously enhances the house and the way we spend time outside. The garden is a vibrant, fresh and luxuriant haven that harmonises beautifully with the surrounding countryside.”
Eydon, 2023
“Hollie did a fantastic job on planning and planting our small garden. From the first visit to discuss our needs and throughout the entire process, she was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely professional – we were SO happy with the finished result.”
Bicester, 2023
“We asked Pitchfork and Pencil to create a design for our garden that we could implement over a series of years. They looked at both practical (e.g. drainage, space utilisation, privacy) and aesthetics and produced a design that was far beyond our expectation.”
Thornborough, 2024


INSPIRATION GARDENS OPEN AT SWALLOWS NURSERIES, MIXBURY
We were proud to work with Swallows Nurseries & Gardens in Mixbury, and created six show gardens to inspire gardeners new and old across their customer base – these are open to the public. Anna and the team would look forward to welcoming you to their Nursery and to share their love of horticulture with you.
They are open seven days a week with a huge range of plants, trees and bedding. Please check their website for more details.


WHAT WE DO
Whether you need help with a simple bit of horticultural know-how or a complex planting scheme, we’re able to advise on the best options for you, your garden and your wallet.
We undertake work throughout the year, but depending on your requirements we may recommend a specific season to undertake work or planting to ensure you get the best results.


HOW WE DO IT
We’ve got a tried and tested method when working with our clients. It’s a simple process from start to finish, making sure we keep you informed every step of the way.
We provide a written quote for each project before we commit to any work, so you can be reassured that you’re getting exactly what you expected.


WHERE WE WORK
We’re lucky to be based at the crossroads of three counties and have clients across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire & Northamptonshire. We believe in supporting other local businesses and so we source our plants and materials through nearby nurseries, growers and suppliers whenever possible.
We’re proud of the work we do, and even prouder to work throughout the towns, villages and hamlets of this beautiful part of England.
