My aim is to provide biodiverse gardens that look good all year round and require minimal maintenance and watering.

Everyone deserves a beautiful garden and I am happy to work on small projects.

Creating gardens for people and nature

Having spent 30 years in academic publishing, I retrained to become a garden designer. Based in Oxford, I create beautiful, plant-focused, wildlife-friendly gardens that people want to spend time in.

I offer a relaxed, naturalistic planting style, using resilient plants that are suited to the location.
