Expert Garden Design & Planting Solutions
Based in Cheltenham, I am a passionate garden designer with a deep-rooted connection to horticulture, having grown up in a garden designed by the renowned Gertrude Jekyll. My approach combines creative vision with technical expertise, focusing on harmonising shapes, colours, and textures to create gardens that inspire and delight. I hold a diploma in Creative Garden Design and Planting from the Cotswold Gardening School, where I graduated with distinction, and I specialise in transforming spaces from backyards to villas into functional, beautiful environments.My process prioritises understanding each site's unique characteristics, including light patterns, sightlines, and material compatibility with existing structures. I offer tailored solutions ranging from initial concept sketches to fully managed garden makeovers, ensuring clients receive clear visualisations and transparent communication throughout their project. With a commitment to detail and client collaboration, I aim to exceed expectations while maintaining practicality and sustainability in every design.
