Prior to becoming a garden designer I was a lawyer for many years and so I have long years of experience working in a professional capacity and working with other professionals.

In 2014 I was selected to take part in the BBC's The Great Chelsea Garden Challenge. I loved creating my show garden and since then I have enjoyed working up more and more designs.

In 2019 I won a gold medal for 'The Mental Health Garden' at the Harrogate Spring Show. That fostered an interest in creating gardens which promote well being and I carry that forward when designing gardens for my clients.

I have appeared on BBC Look North, itv Calendar and Radio Leeds and York.

I am based in Yorkshire and cover all Yorkshire and North Derbyshire. I would also consider designing gardens further afield. Just give me a call to discuss your requirements.
