Bright, autumn colours combined in a surprisingly delightful way with bold succulents at Cruden Farm

Myriad of colours coat the pathway at ‘Wildwood’ garden, Bilpin; what wonderfully inspiring colour combinations nature provides

What a difference a week makes. Last weekend we were in shorts and t-shirts, enjoying a sunny 29 degrees and completely in denial that summer was (almost) over.

Seven days later and Continue reading →

Beautiful Bankia serrata at Bells of Killcare

The more time goes on, the more I love our natives. Sadly, you don’t see them used in gardens as much as you might and so when I come across a model example, I get extremely excited!

Bells of Killcare, a Continue reading →

Beautiful, bold curves at ‘Bowylie’

When I first started exploring garden design, I expected to pick up a book, read it, memorise it and be all set to create stunning designs.  I got dozens of books from the library, googled non-stop, asked my tutor Continue reading →

Location

I’m based in West Oxfordshire, but I work with gardeners all over the place, in the UK and abroad. My style of working is to guide, rather than prescribe, and a fit on this level is much more important than location, so if you think you might like to work with me, wherever you are, just give me a call or drop me an email.

About

In 2007, I resigned from my corporate job at Heathrow to follow my husband’s career abroad. I engaged in a distance learning course with the Royal Horticultural Society and have never looked back. Now back in the UK, I hope to bring flavours of my adventures to my design ideas, from the clay tropics to the sandy desert. My passion for gardens knows no bounds and I hope I can inspire you to develop your love of gardening too.
