Kitchen Garden Design - Rock, Cornwall

Kitchen garden design in Cornwall with raised slate beds, corten edging and productive growing spaces

Project overview

This Cornish client wanted a kitchen garden that would be genuinely productive while looking beautiful alongside the mature ornamental garden. The challenge was creating something that felt at home in this stunning coastal landscape rather than looking like an afterthought.

We used locally-sourced slate for the vegetable beds and incinerator base, with corten edging and a bespoke circular planter as focal points. The warm material palette softens the linear edges and creates a garden that feels rooted in its place. This country garden approach celebrates the Cornish setting.

Design process and result

We started with a proper consultation to understand how the family wanted to use the space, then assessed the site conditions: soil, aspect, and local climate. Cornwall's milder weather opens up possibilities, but coastal winds can be challenging for vegetable growing.

The raised beds are arranged for easy access and efficient planting, but they're also designed to look good from the house and surrounding garden. We created a detailed crop rotation plan and sowing schedule to help the family get the best harvests year after year.

What we delivered

  • Raised beds in locally-sourced slate
  • Corten edging and bespoke circular planter
  • Diverse fruit, vegetable, and herb planting
  • Crop rotation plan and sowing schedule
  • Companion planting for natural pest control
  • Composting system for ongoing soil health

The finished garden produces an abundance of fresh food while looking absolutely beautiful. It's become a real focal point of the property and a source of daily pleasure for the family.
