Our Story

I have fond memories of digging for worms, mud pie making and regular fingernail washing from a very young age. My Grandad being an inspiration for my love of getting my hands dirty but also my mum, who seemed to know facts and names of every plant I asked her about. I don’t regret being a Primary School Teacher for 12 years, as it made me who I am today, I just wish I had realised sooner that my true love is and has always been, gardens. So I left the only career I knew and I studied Professional Garden Design at the ‘British Academy of Garden Design’. Now I am ready to help transform gardens into an escape from busy life and create spaces that entice people out of the house in any season, not just the summer!
