I have been gardening professionally since 1996. I love the physical and organic process of designing, developing and editing gardens through the seasons. My best ideas often occur whilst digging, weeding or ‘looking’ with a cup of tea in hand. Cake, frothy coffees and other treats tend to make my ideas flow even faster.

I am especially passionate about creating low-maintenance naturalistic planting for people who would like their gardens to evolve and be wildlife-friendly, rather than just be maintained and kept tidy.

As they say: “Gardens are never finished”.  The initial design drawings, hard-landscaping and planting are only the beginning. We edit and weed selectively, add bulbs, biennials and annuals each year, to create high-density/multi-layered schemes that are continually evolving.

Some of the larger gardens I am involved in already have a gardener/s who cut the grass and hedges – or the clients like to do a bit themselves. So we are able to concentrate on editing and improving the planting and as a result some of the gardens only require monthly or seasonal visits.
