ND Garden Design specialise in eco-friendly, wildlife focused gardens and run sustainable workshops and garden consultations.

A £3,397 Small Business Adaptation Grant from Derbyshire Dales District Council was invested in new digital technology capable of powering high end design software.This has enabled the company to create 3D visual designs for domestic clients as well as branching out and working with more commercial clients.

Steven Howard (Owner/Director) says:

The grant from Derbyshire Dales District Council has proven to be an incredibly useful investment. We have been able to level up both our designs and our presentations meaning we have had our most successful start to a year since trading began.
