GARDEN DESIGN
I am a plant led garden designer and offer a service ranging from full garden design to redesigning certain aspects of your garden.
Im passionate about creating beautiful and engaging places which bring people close to nature, I believe that naturalistic planting and a well designed space can touch us in a different way, and have a positive impact on our lives.
I consider my approach to be is simple and understated, practical but beautiful with attention to detail and quality craftmanship. I look at the inherent qualities of the site and the character of the surrounding landscape to inform decisions on plants and materials so it feels cohesive and quietly fits in. And pay /attention to the clients needs and brief so the space is functional, practical and full of use.
