We try to make gardens that look like they have seeded themselves and always been.

Thus love to be involved in the ongoing care; to edit and add more layers over time.

I tend to suggest meadows and gravel gardens over traditional flowerbeds, because they require less aftercare and have a higher density of flowers, wildlife and drama.

Plus propose ponds or at least a birdbath, because adding water is one of the best ways we can help wildlife.

I have a pragmatic approach to garden design, so prefer to do some gardening, editing and drawing in a new space, before creating proposals.

Once we have agreed the initial design, I work with your builders or recommend contractors for any hard landscaping/groundworks.

I then source the plants and lay them out intuitively, but I can create visuals, planting plans and mood boards if the budget allows.

I especially love it when clients want to garden with us, so we can show them the “desirable” seedlings - this selective weeding allows the planting to become more naturalistic and dynamic.

We do gardening not “garden maintenance”; we are making and continually creating - not “maintaining” something static.
