My Background
I have been gardening professionally for eleven years. I left a career in the media in 1997 to train with the Women’s Farm and Garden Association and worked in the gardens of the Grosvenor Estate in Westminster and at Eltham Palace in South London.

I studied garden and planting design at Capel Manor College, passed the RHS Advanced Certificate in Horticulture and am a member of the Professional Gardeners' Guild.

Over the last few years, I have designed and maintained many private gardens in London and Sussex. I am now living on the south coast and enjoying seaside and country gardening.

I enjoy every aspect of planning and caring for gardens and involve the customer throughout the process.

I am always delighted to maintain and develop gardens and see the planting maturing over time, learn more about the way the plants grow together and make any changes to improve the scheme.
I garden as organically as possible using compost to improve the structure of the soil before planting and organic fertilisers. I avoid soil conditioners based on peat and use he only when absolutely necessary. I support the Ethical Trading Initiative
