About me
I am a garden designer based near Oxford. I am a self confessed plantaholic which I inherited from my grandmother who was a professional flower arranger and my dad who was a champion Chrysanthemum grower. I love working with my clients to create a beautiful garden that, whether they use it for relaxation, rejuvination, entertaining or play, is somewhere they do not want to leave.

Gardening expertise
Professional

Biggest gardening accomplishments
Qualifying as a garden designer at the prestigious London College of Garden Design (Kew) - gaining distinction and the external judges prize. Also winning an RHS Silver-Gilt medal for my show garden at RHS Chatsworth 2019.

Biggest gardening frustrations
Usually these are to do with growing vegetables - plants that have been nurtured from seed and carefully taken care of for many months only to be eaten by dear of pigeons!

The gardening project I am currently working on
I am working on a range of projects from large country gardens to small courtyard and suburban gardens. I love them all - when I am designing I am really there - in the future - enjoying the garden as if it has already been created!
