WHITSTABLE GARDEN DESIGN
Garden design in Whitstable can be influenced by its maritime history, charming architecture, and coastal geography. Known for its historic fishing industry and Victorian seaside homes, gardens often incorporate traditional elements, such as picket fences and ornamental flower beds, reflecting the town’s quaint character. The coastal landscape, with its pebbly beaches and dramatic sunsets, inspires designs that embrace open views and incorporate natural materials like driftwood and stone.
​
Geologically, Whitstable’s clay and chalk soils affect drainage and plant selection, making it ideal for native species like sea lavender and salt-tolerant grasses.
The temperate maritime climate, characterized by mild winters and warm summers, supports a variety of plants, allowing for vibrant blooms and lush greenery.
The combination of historical context, geological characteristics, and a focus on native plants leads to diverse garden styles that celebrate both the town’s heritage and its stunning coastal environment, creating beautiful, resilient landscapes that reflect Whitstable’s unique identity.
