Garden Design
Welcoming nature in
I specialise in creating beautiful wildlife friendly gardens, sensitively
designed with as positive an impact on the environment as possible.
Your wildlife friendly garden - good garden design can help you realise your dreams whether it’s an edible forest garden to forage in or a calm leafy oasis for you and local wildlife.
Passion for nature and design - I take pride in designing bespoke, nature-rich gardens, working and collaborating with you and your contractor. The scheme will interweave elements like sustainable use of rain water (biodiverse SUDs) and reuse of materials with structure, planting and habitats for wildlife from invertebrates to pollinators. For example my Wildlife Rain Garden which is a finalist in the 'Design for the Environment' category of Society of Garden Designer Awards 2025.
Artificial grass - I am proud to support the Society of Garden Designers 'Say no to plastic grass and plants' campaign - more details here link to leaflet.
Personal approach - my approach centres on understanding and listening to you, so I can bringing fresh innovative solutions to realise your garden vision, within the budget and on time.
A garden can bring you pleasure for years to come. It can also be nature-rich and climate change resilient. Collectively we can make a difference to our threatened wildlife.
Do call me to discuss the
possibilities for your garden.
My process
I offer a personal, flexible service, working closely with you to listen and develop the most suitable competitive service packages, my services include:

- Sketch design showing the overall layout with examples of proposed features, materials and planting style.
- Outline design a masterplan showing the scheme with notes on materials, descriptions and measurements necessary to understand the design. Garden layout, features from ponds to pergolas, bed planting style (not the individual plants) and specimen trees are shown on this plan.
- Detailed design including planting - plans, specifications and plant schedules and technical details for complex soft elements and hard landscape details
