Founded in 2018, Naturelle Landscape Creations provides bespoke garden design and landscape architecture, specialising in naturalistic and site-specific outdoor spaces. We create private gardens and parks and optimise conditions for plants to enhance their aesthetic value, blending in with their surrounding landscape. We focus on environmentally long-lasting designs for client-tailored solutions. Those integrate the existing architecture and plants in your garden in a sensitive manner. Whether it might be at your home, in a country estate, or within a heritage landscape setting, our services include sourcing plants, garden features, and presenting elaborate planting schemes, as well as complete designs for gardens, parks, and property settings. I strive to deliver the highest standards in elegance, functionality, and long-lasting outdoor spaces that elevate flora and fauna, and, if needed, push boundaries to ensure an outdoor environment your family and friends enjoy for years to come.
My name is Claudia Kehlenbach. I am a professionally trained Master of Landscape Architecture living in the Island town of Mersea. Whilst trained as a business consultant, I completed a four-year program of studies of a BSc. Engineer program at the University of Applied Sciences Höxter in North Rhine-Westphalia and a two-year international program in Master Landscape Architecture at the University of Applied Sciences Bernburg in Saxony-Anhalt, including a year of research at the RHS Garden Wisley. This was under my mentors’ guidance,Dr. Noel Kingsbury, then guest lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences Bernburg in Saxony-Anhalt and associate lecturer of Sheffield, and Prof. Dr. Wolfram Kircher, Department of Agriculture, Ecotrophology, and Landscape Development, UAS Anhalt, ibid. Both are leading experts in the field of perennial planting concepts for the city and gardens of our future, researching together with Prof. Nigel Dunnett.
Since my earliest childhood, I have spent many months staying in the Mediterranean, from which I draw my strongest influences. Also, I have lasting impressions from my research and studies in Asia, North and South America, where I enjoyed the lush and vast landscapes of all colours, changing with the seasons. I like to help to shape ecological gardening and landscaping, which has a sustainable effect. Any garden and landscape design challenge I dedicate myself to with enthusiasm and responsibility.
Working with ecological gardening and landscaping ideas, renaturalisation measures, old and newly bred ornamental plants, and dealing with the topic of gardening and its influence on well-being have always been my most vital interests. Participating in the creation and realization of the biodiversity garden at the RBG in Edinburgh has been one of my fondest memory in creating gardens and landscapes.
Transformed a small plot into a beautiful garden that is easy to maintain and has a variety of plants for all year round interest. I’ve been amazed at how Claudia has transformed a small area into a a place for trees, flowers, water and a pleasant seating area for my son.

Claudia transformed our over matured and overgrown woodland edge border. Her choice of plants for the replanting was sensitive and well matched to the location and space available.
We are confident that her selection of plants will provide more interest throughout the year and we very much look forward to enjoying our border once again.

Completely transformed a very cluttered but well loved garden into a enjoyable, relaxing space with significant and thoughtful replanting. Can't thank you enough for the transformation!

Our garden is quite challenging due to being on a steep slope and surrounded by large trees. However Claudia’s help and advice has enabled us to make great improvements to the area and her selection of shrubs has proven very successful.

Claudia has created a joyful border as part of our remodelled patio area. Her design idea and plant choices are providing an interesting look and display of colours throughout the seasons.
The design to convert a formerly undefined area, has brilliantly combined trees, shrubs and flowering perennials, creating a beautiful organic division of two very different spaces, separating drive and garden seamlessly, without the need for hard landscaping.

Claudia has done an amazing job in our garden, recommending plants, redesigning certain areas that needed improvement, just generally giving us great and knowledgeable advice for a more interesting and user friendly space. We are very grateful for her help and good service. We would highly recommend her work to all.
