ABOUT US
Creating Gardens with Meaning
At Manoj Malde Garden Design, we believe a garden is more than a collection of plants—it is a living extension of the home. A place where nature, beauty, and people connect.
Founded in 2011, the Hertfordshire-based studio creates expressive, colour-rich gardens for homeowners across the UK, rooted in culture, crafted with attention, and designed to evolve beautifully over time. Each project is deeply personal—shaped by the client’s lifestyle, architecture, and surroundings—resulting in spaces that feel both effortless and enduring.
