Garden Design in Bury St Edmunds
Zoe Kilbride is a garden designer working with clients across Essex, Hertfordshire and selected areas of Suffolk including Bury St Edmunds, creating thoughtful outdoor spaces that combine strong structure with naturalistic planting.
Whether redesigning a substantial garden or developing a carefully considered planting plan, Zoe works closely with each client to create gardens that feel calm, balanced and connected to their surroundings.
Projects across the area range from town gardens close to the historic centre of Bury St Edmunds to larger countryside properties and village gardens throughout the surrounding landscape.



Gardens in and around Bury St Edmunds often benefit from generous outdoor space, particularly around period houses and rural properties in nearby villages.
These gardens provide opportunities for strong structure, layered planting and carefully designed areas for relaxation, entertaining and outdoor living.
Thoughtful planting is often central to the design, helping gardens feel natural, balanced and visually interesting throughout the seasons while responding to the character of the Suffolk landscape.

Planting design in Bury St Edmunds
For gardens where the main structure is already established, planting design can transform the feel of the space. Zoe creates planting schemes that soften architectural elements, introduce seasonal interest and bring cohesion to the garden.
Planting plans are designed to feel natural and balanced throughout the year, using combinations of perennials, grasses and structural planting to create depth, texture and movement.
