About Studio Alexander

Welcome to The Green Alex, a blog dedicated to inspiring and empowering garden enthusiasts with free, practical advice on creating beautiful outdoor spaces. Here, I share everything from plant recommendations to design tips, aiming to make gardening accessible and enjoyable for all. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting started, The Green Alex is your resource for turning any outdoor area into a lush, welcoming retreat. This blog is a passion project, where I combine my love for writing, art, and design to bring you insights that help you connect with nature and transform your own space.

Beyond the blog, I run Studio Alexander, a Yorkshire-based landscape design practice specialising in tailored garden and landscape designs across the UK. With half my time spent in the North and the other half in the South, I work on a variety of projects—from small urban gardens to large rural estates. No matter where you are, Studio Alexander is dedicated to making your vision come to life, bringing a blend of practicality, elegance, and sustainability to every project.

At Studio Alexander, we create gardens that feel like natural extensions of your home, balancing function with a sense of beauty and calm. Each project is unique, shaped by our clients’ tastes and the character of the site itself. I work closely with architects, interior designers, and skilled landscaping teams to ensure a seamless transition from design to reality, resulting in spaces that enrich lives and provide peaceful, restorative environments.

Together, The Green Alex and Studio Alexander reflect my passion for gardening, design, and the power of nature to uplift and inspire. Here, I hope to connect with like-minded, green-fingered individuals who are eager to make the most of their outdoor spaces—whether through the information shared on this blog or through the bespoke designs crafted at Studio Alexander.
