# Mia Witham – Landscape & Garden Design
Mia Witham is an RHS Chelsea Flower Show award-winning landscape and garden designer based in Bury Saint Edmunds, specialising in creating elegant, functional outdoor spaces rooted in Scandinavian design principles. She works with private clients, architects, developers, councils, hospitals, and schools to deliver integrated landscapes that enhance wellbeing, biodiversity, and everyday life.
Her practice spans three core areas: bespoke private gardens characterised by striking contrasts between structure and wildness, refined planting schemes, and bold colour palettes; comprehensive landscape design for public and institutional settings, including master planning and detailed concept development; and specialist expertise in therapeutic gardens and school grounds for mainstream and SEND settings. Mia is particularly recognised for her commitment to inclusive design, ensuring every space authentically reflects its users' needs through close stakeholder engagement and multi-disciplinary collaboration.
What distinguishes Mia's work is her dual focus on experience and sustainability. She approaches each project personally—from conception through completion—combining a deep passion for plants with sensitivity to both aesthetic and ecological principles. Her designs deliberately explore contrasts between the geometric and organic, natural and man-made, creating immersive environments that foster connection with nature. Whether designing therapeutic spaces promoting mental health benefits or enchanting children's landscapes rich with discovery opportunities, Mia demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of how outdoor environments profoundly impact human wellbeing and behaviour.
