News from Leaping Hare
New website for award-winning garden designer Alison Wear
Nationally-acclaimed garden designer Alison Wear chose Leaping Hare to give her web presence a new look. Her background in theatre and film design make her unafraid to incorporate dramatic elements and bold colour into her gardens where appropriate, but most importantly she works with clients to create outdoor environments that suit their taste and lifestyle. This is paticularly evident in the Arts & Crafts garden that won her a National Award from the British Association of Landscape Industries in 2007.

We have moved
Leaping Hare is now based in Dorset. We have moved from Lichfield to Bridport. Apart from being a beautiful place and by the sea, a Dorset location means we are closer to our many customers in the South West and are better placed to serve the artistic and crafts communities in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire and, of course, Dorset. We will still be visiting the Midlands and London on a regular basis, so we can serve you well wherever you are situated.
