The Nordic is the result of a very close collaboration with celebrated Scandinavian design expert and writer, Reena Simon. Infusing the essence of the Hygge philosophy on interior design and rustic living, with the simplicity and naturalistic focus of Scandinavian landscape and garden design, this theme is full of character, warmth and nature through every season.
Structure and height comes from Silver Birch and Hydrangea quercifolia, with year-round structure and form provided by grasses such as Miscanthus and Molinia with their delicate, trembling seed heads as well as ferns like the 'Autumn Fern', Dryopteris erythrosora. Subtle colour is delivered through the magnificent Echinacea 'White Swan', Astilbe and Gaura 'Whirling Butterflies'.
There are a number of key elements that effortlessly combine to create your Nordic garden.
An informal planting style creates a garden in harmony with its natural surroundings.
Scented shrubs, soft grasses and structural ferns inspire a sense of calm and tranquility.
A theme for every season, with visual interest from sunny midsummer, to frosty midwinter.

Our designs are created to ensure your garden has real structure, colour and shape, for immediate impact.
It means you’ll receive plants and flowers of all shapes and sizes - from larger, “hero” items for stature and impact, all the way through to smaller “bedding” plants that help fill spaces and bring colour.
Here’s some more detail on the types of plants you can look forward to with The Nordic - delivered right to your door and ready for planting.
A visually interesting, structural shrub such as Hydrangea or Pinus mugo 'Mops' forms the design’s centrepiece
Weighty shrubs such as Sarcoccoca and Blackberry add form and substance to the design, ensuring immediate shape
Elegant, tall perennials such as Echinacea and Veronicastrum need little space to bring height and impact to the design
Statement plants such as the grass Miscanthus and Molinia caerulea create flow and movement, with visual stand-out
Ground plants such as Tiarella and Epimedium create carpets of colour that fill gaps and provide beautiful scents too
Climbers such as Hydrangea and Jasmine help create height, range and coverage against fences and walls
Each design in this theme has been carefully curated to give you the perfect balance of statement plants, varying heights and flowering throughout the year, in both shade and sun.
Please note that we create your design based on a range of plants to ensure they best suit your space, aspect and flower bed(s) size - the plants mentioned on this page are representative of the theme but there can be variations!
We have three different shapes and sizes of the The Mediterranean available with our Instant Beds, designed for both sunny and shady spots within in your garden. Or, you can go Bespoke if you want something little more personalised.
