About me

Garden designer based in Surrey. Designing practical and beautiful gardens for people and wildlife. I am passionate about encouraging people of all ages to spend more time outside. Each garden represents a challenge to design a space which meets the needs of the people and maximises the potential of the space and will give them pleasure throughout the seasons. When you realise that something as simple as a view of a tree improves recovery from an operation how good for day to day health and well-being must a view of a beautiful garden be? All the gardens I work on are designed for all the seasons and every completed garden gets a free bulb planting plan so that spring can be a beautiful surprise.

Biggest gardening accomplishments

I won the an RHS Gold medal in my first ever show garden at Hampton Court 2008. The garden was also judged to be the Best Small Garden which was wonderful. I've recently designed a Wildlife Show Garden for Surrey Wildlife Trust for the BBC Breathing spaces Wild Day Out in Shalford Park - Guildford. A communal garden I designed for Raven Housing Trust is being entered for a New Homes Garden Award - Best Communal Garden and I hope to be exhibiting at Chelsea next year...
