Bring Harmony to your Outdoor Space
Garden Power
My clients have shared with me how their gardens have and continue to bring joy to their lives. Celebrating 20 years in business on 1 June 2025 provided me with an opportunity to liaise with all my clients and to ask them to share the importance of their outdoor space.
For me, gardens resonate with the Genus loci, the ‘spirit of place’ that flows through my practice – a celebration of places that enhance who we want to be and how we want to live.
Some of the key emotions clients want from their gardens are:
The Power of Transformation: More than just a pretty space
Relaxation and Stress Relief
Connection with Nature: Enticing wildlife and observe the passing senses
An extension of our home
Investing in creating Garden Power is ‘investing in yourself’
Within my garden designs, these powerful emotions and others are used to create your garden design ensuring it is what you want and how you want to live.
My Experience, Your Vision
Easy Care Gardens.
Designs which focus on enriching our lives with an outdoor space that needs minimal upkeep and often focuses on using a selection of hard landscape materials to inspire. Often the beauty of the paved materials creates a ‘Courtyard’ feel which is spacious and interesting.
"We do love our garden!”
My Experience, Your Vision
Sanctuary Gardens.
Sanctuary gardens are spaces designed for YOU to be YOU. My designs share ideas and options for creating a sanctuary that can support your mental and physical wellbeing; creating calmness and happiness. Places to be peaceful or to recall the good times: to sit, to reflect, to smile, to cry, to heal or be spiritual.
"I adore sitting out in my beautiful garden, listening to the birds sing, watching the bees and admiring my beautiful plants. I’ve had so many passersby compliment my garden.”

My Experience, Your Vision
Fun Time Gardens.
Engaging with clients to create fun spaces for the Family and Friends. You garden is part of your home where you can entertain: be it cocktails in the bar or simply having a natter, enjoy your lunch surrounded by plants or simply enjoying the sunshine upon your new patio.
“Our garden offers a homely and warm feeling with a stylish edge.”

My Experience, Your Vision
Up, Down & All Around
Your garden is shaped by the landscape – it can be a gentle or steep incline which hinders your movement and flow around your garden needing design to access your space. I love the power of movement, reshaping the lawn into a circle or allowing it to sweep gracefully towards a destination point.
Whatever your landscape, I am here to enhance your space and it become what you want it to be.
“The lower lawn has become a brilliant space for play. Overall, it’s a much more usable and enjoyable space.”

My Experience, Your Vision
Gardens Inspired by....
What is so interesting about life is that we all experience the world slightly differently and are inspired by the things that we each enjoy and make us smile. Clients have been inspired by their hobbies and interests, other gardens they have visited, artists and artefacts or simply growing their own fruit and vegetables.
What inspires you which can be woven into your garden design?
