Right Plant, Right Place, Right material, Right Place - Planting designs are based on soil type, drainage, light levels and other site specifics for optimum health and growth.
Materials are carefully chosen to fit the reality of the site - contours, moisture and light levels.
Client Satisfaction - I encourage clients to provide as detailed a brief as possible - from colours, style, use, level of maintenance etc.
My aim is to help people create spaces they will love - whether you want some practical advice in realising your own vision, or would rather I do the dreaming for you.

Client Brief: A cottage garden bed in pinks and blues, purples and whites.
Climbers for the wall.
The plants are all on order.
I won't be planting this one, which is strange for me but I'm looking forward to seeing its development.
Client Brief: A Mediterranean style bed with one existing tree in a hot sunny location with fertile free draining soil.
I've been thinking in blues, whites and yellows for this bed, with a touch of pink here and there.
Variation in foliage shapes and colour is important here and structure in the form of flower bearing shrubs.
