About Chiltern Garden Design
Chiltern Garden Design is the brainchild of passionate gardener and talented designer Sam Proctor MSGD.
Sam has been creating beautiful gardens for over a decade. Since leaving a City career in Marketing, she has honed her skills to a very high level, taking the Diploma in Garden Design at the prestigious London College of Garden Design, for which she was awarded a Distinction.
She then spent a further three years gaining a fully rounded working knowledge of garden design and installation at the highest level, working at an SGD registered practice, on a range of gardens large and small, and where attention to detail was taken to the next level.
A bit more about Sam Proctor
Since then she has been running Chiltern Garden Design as a flourishing design practice, focusing on the Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire areas of the Chiltern Hills. In 2023, she achieved MSGD status, (fully registered member of the Society of Garden Designers), one of only a couple of hundred MSGDs in the country, representing and promoting the highest standards in garden design. She’s also an accredited designer member of the Association of Professional Landscapers (MAPL), giving you peace of mind that you’re working with a true professional.
At the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024, Sam brought her design inspiration for a Water Saving Garden to life, winning plaudits from industry experts, designers, commentators and the general public, as well as a Bronze Medal from the RHS.
Her passion is creating gardens to suit the needs and lifestyle of her clients, never imposing a one-size fits all solution, but finding a style and scheme to fit the complex needs of busy people.
Sam has lived in the Chilterns for years, falling in love with its rolling hills, gorgeous old market towns and ancient beech woods full of bluebells in the spring. She’s now made Amersham her home, having also lived in Great Missenden, Wendover and Chesham. Chiltern Garden Design covers the whole Chilterns area including Chesham, Great Missenden, the Chalfonts, Chorleywood and Rickmansworth, Wendover and Chesham Bois.
Testimonials
What our wonderful clients say
"Right from first contact Sam was an absolute joy to work with. She was attentive and thorough in understanding our vision for the garden and the creativity she applied to the design was fabulous."
Client in Little Chalfont
"Sam is a talented designer, who took time to really understand our needs and ideas, and to come up with a design that has exceeded our expectations."
Client in Hazlemere
"Without a doubt, we would not have been able to envisage the final product without Sam’s experienced eye and creative mind to call upon. Always reliable, Sam would always deliver on a commitment and remain personally involved in the project from start to finish."
Clients in Seer Green
"From beginning to end Sam listened to what I was looking for, completely revamping my very small garden. She supplied ideas, mood boards, sketches, comprehensively detailed planting schemes and generally supported by email and video calls as well as phone calls. She even researched a company that could fit an electric awning in a tricky place. I decided to set out and plant myself but she came the following spring to review the finished garden and gave me further advice. It is very nice to work with an individual who ‘knows her stuff’ and works for herself. I wish her every success and would thoroughly recommend her."
Client in Farnham Common
"Designer Sam Proctor has achieved the impossible, and made water butts sexy! ... This masterpiece sums up what the 'Balcony & Container Gardens' are all about. Sure they're small, but the well of creativity runs deep."
