About

I am a garden designer based in York, mainly working in and around Yorkshire but have travelled up and down the UK to design gardens and am always happy to travel to help clients with their gardens. I love creating gardens with strong architectural outlines softened by voluminous planting that draws on year round interest, ensuring there is something to capture the eye whatever the season. Gardens should always evoke all the senses from the colour palette on the eye, to the rustling of plants swaying in the wind to the amazing perfumes that can be inhaled, whether on a summer’s evening or the depth of winter.
Wildlife and ecological elements are also important considerations, thinking about plants that will encourage bees and butterflies, something as simple as creating a ‘nectar bar’ whilst using a stunning palette of your favourite colour flowers, whether you prefer purples and white or blues and yellows, for example. Or just leaving a small space (a gap in the fence or space between a wall and tree, for example) to allow hedgehogs to travel between gardens.
No matter what size space you have, from a balcony or small courtyard to a large country garden having your garden professionally designed will maximise its potential. Whether this means extending the view to make the most of the surrounding landscape, creating another room for your family to get the most out of the space, an extension of the house (creating a scene that brings the outside in) or space to relax in and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you are looking for contemporary, traditional, a family space or a wildlife garden I will work with you to create the space that works for you.
