Soft Line Studio is a Wiltshire-based garden design studio, founded through shared conversations and a mutual way of seeing the landscape. As garden designers in Wiltshire, our work is rooted in observation, collaboration, and a deep respect for place.

We bring together backgrounds in fine art, textiles, horticulture, and hands-on making. This combination shapes a planting-led garden design practice that values restraint, materiality, and the quiet rhythms of seasonal change.

Our Manifesto

We believe gardens and objects should age with grace, not demand attention.

We design with the hand of an artist and the discipline of a maker.

Sustainability is not a statement – it is embedded in how we choose, make, and design.

Inspired by the past, but never nostalgic. Our work is quietly contemporary.

To create spaces that bring a sense of calm, continuity, and cultivated living.

About Us

garden designers in Wiltshire

Lucille - Co-Founder & Designer

Lucille brings together a lifelong connection to gardening with a background in fine art, shaping a practice that is as sensitive as it is considered. Raised in a family of gardeners and creatives, her understanding of plants, land, and making was nurtured from an early age, forming the foundation of her approach to design. She believes a garden should emerge through collaboration - between designer, client, and landscape - and be shaped with respect for the character, rhythm, and integrity of its setting.

Lucille graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Textile Art from Winchester School of Art, where she developed a refined sensitivity to colour, texture, and form. She went on to work for several years as an artist, exhibiting her paintings at institutions including the Royal Academy, Mall Galleries, and the Chelsea Flower Show, where her passions for painting and planting first began to converge. Alongside gaining RHS qualifications, she worked as a gardener for private clients, grounding her creative vision in practical experience, before completing a Distinction-level Diploma in Professional Garden Design at the Cotswold Gardening School.

Outside of the studio, Lucille is mum to Cassidy and shares her days with a much-loved lurcher, Pip, who occasionally accompanies her to work. This close, everyday connection to family, landscape, and life outdoors continues to inform her intuitive, thoughtful approach to creating gardens that feel lived-in, personal, and deeply connected to place.

Molly - Co-Founder & Designer

Molly’s work is shaped by a long-standing relationship with making, materials, and the natural world. She holds a First Class BA (Hons) in Costume with Performance Design from Arts University Bournemouth, where she developed a particular passion for dyeing and printing textiles - an interest that continues today through natural dyeing and clothes making. Before moving fully into gardens, she ran a bespoke bridal dressmaking and alterations studio for over a decade, refining an expert eye for detail, construction, and the quiet discipline of craft.

Her connection to landscape began early, spending childhood days exploring woodland and riverbanks near her family home, and later deepened through gardening with her grandfather, growing runner beans each year. Molly trained horticulturally on the job, initially working with a garden designer before going on to work within a 17th-century estate and hotel garden as Assistant Head Gardener. These years of hands-on experience underpin her work as a designer, informing an approach that balances creativity with a clear understanding of how gardens are built, tended, and lived in over time.

Molly brings together her background in textiles, fashion, and horticulture with a deep sensitivity to place, atmosphere, and feeling. She is driven by a love of growing flowers, curating spaces, and finding beauty in nature - often bringing it indoors through arrangement and display. Outside of work, she is mum to Edie and can usually be found on long walks in nature with the family’s cockapoo, Phoebe, a rhythm of life that continues to shape her grounded, considered approach to design.

Working across Wiltshire, the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire and Somerset, our gardens respond to rural settings, orchard landscapes, limestone soils and expansive skies. Each project is shaped by its environment, creating spaces that feel grounded and enduring.
