Todor V. Todorov GARDEN DESIGNER & SCULPTOR ABOUT ME Since an early age art has always been my passion. That coupled with my fascination with nature and the Landart movement fueled my interest and love for garden design. With a creative, artistic, and detail-oriented work ethos, I wish to design spaces that are functiona, inspiering and will bring people together and create memorable experiences. The garden space is like a sculpture, a living breathing space filled with volumes and textures. The manipulation of space is something I am interested in as an artist and garden designer. The opportunity to create and explore all of this is the reason why I chose to pursue a career as a professional garden designer.

Family Cottage Garden This country home garden was pretty much a blank canvas with flat and uninspiring space. The customers wanted me to transformed their garden space into a family garden bursting with colour and habitats. The inspiration was drawn from the traditional cottage style and country estates with a little twist of modernity
