Gemma Marnier is a garden designer with a background in interiors and many years of hands-on horticultural experience. Her understanding of proportion, flow and architectural detail informs gardens that feel closely connected to their setting—spaces that are purposeful, expressive and made to be lived in.

Gemma’s design process begins with drawing. Through hand sketches and architectural thinking, she explores the rhythm of a garden: how it unfolds, how people move through it and how each space relates to the house and wider landscape. Natural materials such as wood and stone bring texture, permanence and a sense of place, while generous planting softens the structure around them.

Her practical knowledge has given her an intuitive understanding of how plants behave across a wide range of environments. Guided by careful observation and long-term thinking, she creates resilient, atmospheric gardens that mature gracefully and reveal something new with every season.
