about me

Creativity, knowledge and experience

I studied soft landscape and design at Capel Manor horticultural college in 1995 and since then have built up a wealth of experience in garden design and horticulture. I love working with my clients to produce gardens that they enjoy.

The creative process is often collaborative, where my design skills merge with a client's ideas and also a landscaper's expertise. Whether I am working to a very definite brief or just a loose guide, the results are always uniquely inspired by my clients.

I work with my husband Simon whose background is as a plant nurseryman. Simon's knowledge and experience is complementary to mine and he has a natural affinity for all things to do with plants, nature and animals.

I volunteer for the Surrey Garden Design Group (SGDG) www.sgdg.org.uk in a membership and PR role and recently also as co-chair. The SGDG is a group of professional garden designers who meet up for talks, outings and networking, contributing to CPD (Continuing Professional Development).
