Leaf & Ground in Gloucestershire consists of a thriving cafe, deli and garden centre with a children’s play area and 20 acres of woodland, fields and footpaths for members of the public to enjoy.

Carpenter Oak were approached when the clients acquired the site, which at that time, was home to an unloved and uninspiring garden centre. The clients had engaged Carpenter Oak on previous projects nearby, so they approached us again to collaborate on the design and build of two large oak framed structures that would form the new commercial venture.
