Our Story
Rooted in a passion for
beautiful, living spaces
Green Haven Gardens was founded on a simple belief: every outdoor space has the potential to become something extraordinary. We bring that potential to life, one garden at a time.
From a small allotment to a full-service garden studio
Green Haven Gardens began in 2012 when our founder, Eleanor Shaw, turned a neglected plot in West Sussex into a flourishing cottage garden. Word spread quickly among neighbours, and what started as a weekend passion soon grew into a fully fledged design practice.
Today our small but dedicated team of horticulturists and garden designers works with homeowners, estates, and commercial properties across the South of England — crafting gardens that are as practical as they are beautiful.
What we believe in
🌿 Working with Nature
We design in harmony with local ecosystems — choosing plants that thrive naturally in their setting and support local wildlife and pollinators.
🌱 Thoughtful Design
Every garden we create is tailored to the client's lifestyle, soil, and microclimate. No two gardens are alike — and that's precisely the point.
🤝 Long-Term Partnership
We don't just design and disappear. Our ongoing care programmes keep your garden looking its best through every season, year after year.
What our clients say
"Green Haven completely transformed our overgrown back garden into a tranquil retreat. Eleanor and her team listened to every detail and delivered beyond our expectations."

"The seasonal planting service is a joy. Our front border looks stunning all year round and we don't have to lift a finger. Absolutely worth every penny."
