Having grown up on a nursery, plants are part of who I am. I am passionate about the joy that gardens, and tending them, can bring into our everyday lives. I believe this is possible through good garden design, no matter what size your garden is or how knowledgeable you are.

​

With both horticultural qualifications and a diploma in garden design, my particular interest is in sustainable garden design.  Both in terms of the environmental footprint of the materials, process and plants I specify. But also by considering wildlife and biodiversity from the very start of the process.

​

Plants are sourced from trade nurseries (normally within Kent) and other smaller nurseries. My preferred nurseries grow their plants in peat free compost, however for smaller orders I choose the most local nursery.

Plastic pots are donated to a project that can reuse them and compost bags are either reused or recycled. All compost that I specify is peat free and chippings FSC certified.

​

As a Pre-registered member of the Society of Garden Designers I abide by their Code of Professional conduct. I carry Public liability and Professional Indemnity insurance. I use the JCLI Homeowner Consultancy Agreement contracts for each project. Further details on request.
