Elva Geaney

I am a recent graduate of the prestigious Inchbald School of Design in London, where I earned a Diploma in Garden Design with Distinction. I create naturally beautiful gardens that balance practical function with wildlife-friendly planting.

My journey into garden design began many years ago with an introductory Garden Design course at Berkshire College of Agriculture, sparking a lasting passion for design. While this remained a hobby as my children grew up, I continued developing my own gardens alongside a career in professional services. After relocating north and taking on a large garden, my interest in plants and horticulture deepened, inspiring me to pursue garden design professionally.

Now based in North Yorkshire, I work across the region and beyond. In 2025, I was part of the volunteer team delivering RHS-branded planting across the Chelsea Flower Show site. I also completed RHS horticultural training at Askham Bryan College, York. I am a graduate member of the Society of Garden and Landscape Designers and a National Trust garden volunteer.

I approach every project by listening carefully and designing with both creativity and horticultural knowledge. By combining this with project management skills honed in professional services, I help clients transform their gardens into distinctive, functional spaces that reflect the way they live.
