Garden Makers
Making beautiful outdoor spaces in Devon & the Southwest
Stephanie & Ezra have been wholeheartedly digging into Garden Projects together for years.
They’ve reclaimed long forgotten gardens,
tended deep, herbaceous cottage borders,
created wild and wonderful woodland spaces,
designed linear and tidy town courtyards
and built bespoke wooden pergolas, summer houses and decks.
Ezra, Stephanie & Dora (the delightful chocolate Sprocker) make a pretty good team. But from time to time, they’ll enlist the help of their team of hand picked specialists.
Ezra is the youngest of Stephanie’s seven children. His love for plants may well have formed in his baby and toddlerhood when he used to spend hours tied to her back in a sling while she busied in her own garden.
These days, they still enjoy the garden together; Stephanie has been growing a rich and beautiful cottage garden for over 20 years now, while Ezra has spent the last several years cultivating a wild garden in a reclaimed woodland at his rented home, contrasted with a formal borders around the Victorian farmhouse. Away from the garden, they continue to share a lot of their time, from walking, camping and cooking and eating together. They also love to visit public houses and gardens throughout the year, usually with Ezra’s three young boys who love it just as much.
Watch this film for a little glimpse of them at work in Ezra’s garden on a sunny evening last summer.

is the shadow
