Penelope Walker

Llevelo Garden Design was founded by Penelope Walker. Penelope’s ethos is very much client-oriented, and she enjoys the variety of design requests and challenges that she is presented with.

Penelope has long had a deep passion for being outdoors, plants and design so a career in Garden and Landscape Design was a natural calling.

Penelope’s strength lies in her spatial awareness and ability to make a space fit for purpose as well as beautiful and reflective of its setting. Her particular passion is for gardens that promote wellbeing or ‘Relaxation Gardens’.

Penelope’s work has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society who, in 2024, awarded her Chelsea Flower Show Garden a Silver-Gilt Medal.  Penelope’s design for the ‘Calm and Wellbeing’ trade stand garden was awarded 5 stars, the maximum possibly award for the category.

With extensive experience in understanding client’s needs and delivering exceptional quality work, Penelope has a vast knowledge of what is required to design and implement a range of gardens and landscapes as well as a real eye for style.

“Everyone notices when something doesn’t work, when it doesn’t fit or is uncomfortable. Few notice good design and almost no one notices exceptional design and that’s the category we aim for with our gardens”

The flowers are a rich bronze colour fading to a softer salmon colour up the stem. Other plants in the image include yellow Achillea in the foreground and some purple Alliums.

Testimonials

I cannot thank Penelope enough for our garden design! Her eye for detail, natural flair and passion for her work was truly amazing and we are so delighted with the final result.

From our first meeting with Penelope she was very much in tune with our requirements having spent a good amount of time listening and providing ideas. From this she produced a design that we were delighted with. I consider myself to be quite fussy but I could not fault her approach and attention to detail which was first class. For a professional and quality service look no further.

I would highly recommend Penelope of Llevelo Design. From the initial concept to completion her work was professional & always responded promptly to all queries. She interpreted my ideas perfectly & produced a design which has resulted in a small but beautiful & peaceful sanctuary for myself & the wildlife.
