“I’m lucky to love what I do – continuingly learning about our amazing environment, improving outdoor spaces and seeing clients renewed interest in plants and wildlife gives me a tremendous buzz.  Garden design covers such a breadth of subjects, a good understanding of construction is essential but
I especially enjoy the horticultural side of my work – the more I learn about nature, the more I am amazed, fascinated and humbled by it”.
