Gardens for Life

After the initial consultation to meet the client and discuss their thoughts, the perfect design for the space is developed. One of our recommended landscapers are then chosen and the garden is created. The Gardensforlife team provide the skill and expertise to then plant and if required maintain the garden there-after. Antony Henn has been involved in Horticulture all his life. His parents, Hans and Anna, started one of the first garden centres in the UK in 1959, The Dutch Nursery in Hertfordshire, which Antony and his four brothers and sister helped to develop through the 80s and 90s. The family still own the garden centre to this day! In the early part of his career, Antony worked on a specialist nursery in Holland to learn about growing trees and shrubs then took time out to travel the world with his friend Nigel Marven assisting in the production of wildlife documentaries for the BBC. With a keen interest in architecture and design, setting up a garden design business seemed the natural evolution from growing plants and retail, so in 1992 Gardensforlife was born! Since then Antony has worked on many amazing garden projects for prestigious clients, one of his favourite projects was a stunning Japanese water feature for Sir Paul McCartney.
