Plant-led garden revamps
Working with what's already in your garden to create distinctive areas, or bring to life tricky areas that need some love. Plant selection, garden care and maintenance advice.
Slow Gardening
Gardens are often best when they are allowed to evolve over time, it just feels more natural. Over a couple of seasons (or more) planting up an area or all of your garden allows you time to enjoy the changes as they settle in around you.
Planting Plans and Elevations
For professionals, I can do plant research, complete planting plans and create elevations and help with workflow. From years in the design industry I'm used to juggling jobs that were wanted yesterday, but still need the quality!
Shade Planting
As a former artist and textile designer I really enjoy form and texture. Areas of shade, often the tricky parts of a garden also provide plenty of opportunities to create densely textured
and beautiful areas that can be a real joy in your garden.
Skills and Expertise
Horticultural Knowledge
Strong horticultural knowledge backed up by practical experience and ongoing learning. 'Right plant right place' Beth Chatto's famous saying forms the background of my approach and I am rigorous in designing schemes that work together aesthetically as well as horticulturally.
