MY PASSION

I DESIGN GARDENS THAT BRING JOY

I take a collaborative approach to designing beautifully planted gardens, working closely with my clients to create the gardens of their dreams.

I’m a RHS-qualified garden designer and have been designing gardens in Woodbridge since 2019. Prior to this, I studied garden design at Beth Chatto’s Gardens in Essex, and worked as an apprentice assistant Head Gardener.
