Charlotte Sanderson, Founder
“Working with Mirry and Mia at B·ABLE has been an invaluable part of our sustainability journey. They cut through the jargon, challenge greenwashing and deconstruct complex processes into clear, practical steps. Their guidance and wisdom are helping us make informed decisions to create gardens in the most genuinely sustainable way benefiting us, our clients and the environment.”

The Challenge
As a small studio team with limited capacity and no dedicated sustainability resource, Charlotte Sanderson Garden Design were looking for clarity and guidance on their sustainability positioning. Recognising their meaningful role in shaping natural spaces and fostering connections with nature, they wanted to explore how to amplify their impact and attract more like-minded clients and projects. To achieve this, they requested an expert review of their current strengths and areas for improvement, along with guidance on where to focus their efforts as a small team.
The Solution
To define the sustainability priorities and direction most relevant for Charlotte Sanderson Garden Design, we developed a streamlined roadmap process. This began with a review of current performance, collating key documents and collaborating with stakeholders to build a clear picture of operations, ongoing initiatives, and potential opportunities.
We then complemented this with a peer assessment, analysing the sustainability practices of relevant peers and evaluating trends across the broader landscape design industry. This provided a clear understanding of Charlotte Sanderson Garden Design’s position in the market relative to their peers.
These insights formed the basis of a collaborative session with the team, where we discussed findings and workshopped their long-term sustainability ambitions and focus areas. We then consolidated the outcomes into a detailed report outlining their defined priorities and actionable recommendations for moving forward.
The Results
Charlotte Sanderson Garden Design now have a clear, actionable roadmap and report to guide their sustainability journey, providing clarity on priority areas, a benchmarked view of their market position, and recommended next steps to formalise their approach and amplify their impact. Beyond guidance, the report includes compelling sustainability messaging for their website, enabling the studio to authentically communicate their values, showcase their impact, and attract like-minded clients and projects.
We continue to support the team through an ongoing sustainability communications retainer, helping them communicate their sustainability progress and strengthen their positioning in the market.
