GARDENS | WILDLIFE | PLANTS

Based in Wiltshire's beautiful Chalke Valley, I am well placed for clients in the South and South West, as well as further afield. My inspiration when designing and advising on gardens often comes from these countryside surroundings, and the emotional connection being in nature inspires within us. I recognise the importance of making the most of views and distance in the garden, whether it's a smaller courtyard or large family garden.

​

I am a qualified Garden Designer, where I trained at the prestigious Garden Design School based at The University of Bristol's Botanic Gardens. I have an extremely keen eye for detail and finesse, and understand the importance of clean simple lines and elegant planting for creating gardens which work for my clients. I specialise in low impact and wildlife-friendly gardens, which settle comfortably and naturally into their surroundings.

​

I grew up surrounded by Hampshire countryside and with both parents absolutely passionate about the garden and natural world. From Dad, I've gained an understanding of trees, woodland and countryside management, whilst Mum imparted her knowledge of kitchen and productive gardening and perennials. Their enthusiasm and ability to coax the best out of their plants gave me a long standing enjoyment of gardening and being outside, and honed my eye for the details which make a garden.

​

I also carry with me knowledge and experience gained in a successful career in the sustainability and wildlife conservation sector, which helps me to create wildlife friendly and sustainable gardens in line with my client's wishes.
