Hi Elizabeth.
If we can ever be of help please drop me a line, while we are engineers it is you guys who decide where the kit is going - can't develop it without you.

I work across Hampshire on a variety of private and commercial garden design projects. I can survey a site, provide creative 'birds-eye-view' colour layouts of your potential garden, plus, elevation and technical drawings as required. I only use highly reputable contractors to carry out any construction work needed. Plants are sourced locally where possible. Most of my work comes from my good reputation so I seldom advertise. Do get in touch if I can help you!
The River Test is a famous trout-fishing chalk-stream running down from Overton, through Romsey and into the Solent at Southampton. Fast flowing, beautifully clean, clear water. Soil tends to be full of flints and chalk. Hills often capped with acidic clay, so a wide range of soil types to deal with.
Elizabeth, the planting images of your garden in the Test Valley look great, some lovely planting combinations in the garden. Is the Test Valley Local to you? I haven't heard of it before.
