# Urban Meadows
Urban Meadows is a London-based landscape design and gardening practice based in Kingston upon Thames that creates and maintains thoughtful gardens and green spaces. They work across private residential gardens and public realm projects, bringing together expertise in horticulture, design, and ecological stewardship.
The business serves homeowners, architects, designers, and public organisations seeking landscapes that balance aesthetic beauty with environmental responsibility. Their clientele ranges from those seeking intimate private garden sanctuaries to institutions and local authorities looking to integrate meaningful green space into urban environments.
What distinguishes Urban Meadows is their integrated approach combining design expertise with hands-on gardening practice. Rather than simply conceptualising spaces, they actively cultivate and care for landscapes, drawing on decades of experience working within London's urban context. Their philosophy centres on close observation of plants and natural processes, emphasising material restraint, low-energy solutions, and ecological balance.
Their portfolio demonstrates significant accomplishment, including RHS Chelsea Flower Show exhibits (Shinrin-Yoku Garden and Royal Entomological Society Garden), heritage projects like Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, and diverse commissions from intimate family gardens to substantial public courtyard spaces. They cultivate longstanding relationships with collaborators—designers, architects, artists and horticulturalists—creating cohesive, sustainable landscapes that genuinely enhance their surroundings.
This is a practice driven by genuine horticultural knowledge and environmental consciousness rather than trend-following.
