I have the the skills and knowledge to tackle any horticultural task, from designing to maintaining, constructing to consulting. 

I will always work with the best people who can help translate my vision to a reality.

My goal is always to design gardens and spaces of any size that are sympathetic to the property and landscape they are part of. I want the property owners and their visitors to have somewhere to relax and unwind, surrounded with beautiful plants and immersed in nature.

Every property and garden space has it's own challenges. Sometimes you will have the luxury of a total re-design or you could be tasked with making more of existing landscaping or supplementing and improving upon existing planting. 

In both cases I need to establish the needs of the owners. I must utilise my years of experience and knowledge to facilitate their wishes and turn it into a reality. Guiding them to the outcome they want and deserve.

Personally, I love getting as many plants into a space as possible whilst being mindful of maintenance budget and time constraints. Year round interest in a garden space is important to me. Structure from evergreen planting and sculpture can be key to maximising interest during the Winter months. I love to design and  landscape cozy seating areas surrounded with fragrant planting, with the sound or view of water, the buzzing of bees and the song of birds.

Somewhere you can sit to enjoy a morning sun cup of tea or setting sun beer or glass of wine, without being blasted by a cold wind or scorched from the heat. 

The landscaping should be enough to accomodate socialising and be practical but not to dominate a garden and detract from the real value which for me comes from the plants, also the flora and fauna they attract.

If there is a  pleasant view it should be designed around. If there is an existing feature it should be maximised. 

Importantly any design and garden is only as good as the people looking after it. 

Garden designs are never really finished, they will always evolve with the owners/curators and their changing needs over time. We have the skills and the knowledge to maintain spaces and designs to maximise their potential and can guide and consult with the owners as the space develops and changes.
