Most gardens across South East London have the same problem: plants bought on a whim, in the wrong spot, in the wrong soil. They struggle, fail, and get replaced. It is an expensive cycle and a frustrating one.
A planting plan from Urban Bloom Gardening breaks that cycle. For a bespoke plan, we start with a proper garden assessment: which way the garden faces, where the shade falls, what the soil is like (heavy London clay is the norm across SE London), and how the drainage behaves. We then sit down with you to talk through the style you want, whether that is a cottage garden bursting with colour, a wildlife-friendly pollinator patch, a low-maintenance scheme you can actually keep on top of, or a Mediterranean garden that thrives in a south-facing space.
A bespoke plan arrives as a PDF with plant choices, positions, and care notes tailored to your garden, or start online for £39 with a photo on our sister site gardendesignapp.ai. We can also source plants for you through our wholesale contacts, so you get the right plants at the right price.
Every plant is chosen for your exact conditions: aspect, soil, shade, and drainage. No more guessing. No more plants dying in the wrong spot.
A well-designed planting scheme gives you interest and colour across every season. Spring bulbs, summer perennials, autumn seedheads, winter structure.
A bespoke plan comes as a PDF you can refer back to whenever you want. It explains what each plant needs, when it flowers, and how to look after it.
The right plants in the right place live for years. A planting plan pays for itself quickly compared to repeated failed purchases from the garden centre.
A thoughtfully planted garden is one you actually want to spend time in. Entertaining friends, enjoying the evening light, reconnecting with nature in your own back garden.
For a bespoke plan, we visit the garden and assess aspect, shade, soil type, drainage, and existing planting. Heavy London clay is common across SE London and affects every planting decision.
For a bespoke plan, a conversation about what you want from the space. Cottage, wildlife, low-maintenance, Mediterranean, or something entirely your own. We design around your vision.
We map out interest across all four seasons so the garden looks good in February as well as July. Spring bulbs, summer perennials, autumn colour, winter structure.
A detailed planting plan with plant names, positions, quantities, and care notes. A document you keep and refer back to whenever you need it.

Want us to carry out the planting too? We can incorporate it into a maintenance or clearance visit so the plan goes straight from paper to garden.
