In my spare time I am often found at my own productive no-dig allotment or playing with my beagle, Hugo.Gardening, for me, is about nurturing ecosystems, promoting soil health, and cultivating abundance - connecting with nature in a way that benefits both the environment and the people who live in it.Let’s create a space that helps the natural world - and you - to thrive.

Philsophy #1

Sustainability First

Working with nature to create a thriving, balanced ecosystem.
I prioritise organic methods, soil health, and minimal waste, working in harmony with nature. By avoiding harmful chemicals and using sustainable techniques, I create natural habitats that restore ecological balance and provide a sanctuary for local wildlife. Through the use of composting, mulching, and other regenerative practices, I enrich the soil and create an environment where nature can thrive without the need for artificial inputs.

#philosophy 2

Nature-Inspired

Designing gardens that invigorates both the land and its inhabitants.
I design gardens that support biodiversity by integrating native plants, hedgerows, and wildflower meadows, ensuring the space is naturally suited to local wildlife. These elements provide food, shelter, and breeding spaces for a variety of species, while promoting ecological health. Natural features like ponds, insect hotels, and bird boxes offer homes for pollinators, amphibians, and small mammals, creating a thriving ecosystem where nature can flourish.
