🌿 About Us

A Passion for Plants, A Talent for Design

We’re a husband-and-wife team with over 30 years of combined experience in horticulture and garden design. With degrees in horticulture, years of hands-on experience, and training from respected design courses, we’ve worked with some of the most prestigious organisations in British horticulture — including the Royal Horticultural Society, the National Trust, and several high-end private estates.

Our journey began with our hands in the soil and a shared love of gardens. Over the years, we’ve seen countless outdoor spaces let down by underwhelming designs, poor planting plans, and a lack of fundamental plant knowledge. It became clear: we had something better to offer.

From Award-Winning Show Gardens to Real-World Landscapes

In 2025, we were honoured at the BBC Gardeners’ World Spring Show, receiving:

  • 🌟 Platinum Award

  • 🏆 Best in Category

  • 🌱 People’s Choice Award

This recognition sparked the creation of Dakic Garden Design — a business rooted in our love for planting and designed to deliver gardens that don’t just look beautiful, but thrive.

We’ve now fully transitioned from horticulturists into garden and landscape designers, working both independently and alongside other designers to deliver planting plans that work in the real world.

  • Right plant, right place
