Planting & Soft Landscaping
Planting is what brings a garden to life. Thoughtful plant selection and careful placement create spaces that feel natural, balanced, and beautiful throughout the seasons.
Planting Designed for Long-Term Success
At MNB Designs, planting is never treated as an afterthought. It plays a central role in how a garden looks, feels, and evolves over time.
Led by Christian Dupont’s horticultural experience, planting schemes are developed with careful consideration of soil, aspect, maintenance requirements, and seasonal interest. This ensures your garden not only looks good when completed, but continues to develop and improve year after year.
Whether introducing structure, softening hard landscaping, or creating a complete planting scheme, our approach focuses on creating gardens that feel natural, balanced, and sustainable.

Horticultural Knowledge That Makes the Difference
Successful planting requires more than choosing plants that look good. It requires an understanding of how plants grow, interact, and develop over time.
With over 30 years of horticultural experience, Christian Dupont brings practical knowledge gained from working on a wide range of gardens, estates, and planting schemes. This experience helps ensure planting decisions are both visually effective and suited to the long-term conditions of your garden.
This experience-led approach helps create planting that matures naturally and improves with time.
Access to Exceptional Plants
Our connection with Hillier Garden Centre in Liss gives us access to a wide range of high-quality plants, allowing planting schemes to be developed using real plants rather than catalogue selections.
Clients are welcome to explore planting options, discuss ideas, and develop planting schemes in a practical and relaxed environment. This helps ensure planting feels natural and suited to your garden.
