About

Fi Boyle creates timeless, elegant gardens that offer beauty, tranquillity and a true connection to their surroundings. Working across the South West and beyond, her award-winning practice specialises in designing outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of the home - places to relax, recharge and share with family and friends.

Fi believes that a thoughtfully designed garden has the power to bring calm and perspective to modern life, no matter the size of the plot. Her gardens are tailored to sit comfortably within their setting, complementing both the house and its owners, while providing colour, texture and interest throughout the seasons. Her gardens always include a sense of journey, incorporating an inquisitiveness that will encourage you to explore and experience special moments throughout the garden and into the landscape beyond.

Raised with a love of plants and the natural world, Fi was inspired early on by her father’s passion for gardening. After an initial career in graphic design, she retrained at The Garden Design School, graduating with distinction, and established her own studio in 2009. Today, her work blends creative vision with a deep understanding of planting and place, resulting in beautiful, liveable gardens with a strong sense of belonging.
