I am a registered member of The Society of Garden Designers, established in 1981 to provide a professional body for garden designers and promote excellence in garden design. I also teach gardening and garden design at West Dean College, Chichester where I am Garden Courses Organiser.

My philosophy is to work closely with the client and interpret their ideas into a manageable and attractive garden. I particularly like to integrate the garden into its surroundings with plants and materials appropriate to the character and location of the site.

Why use a garden designer?

A well designed and planted garden will give years of pleasure to the owners and add to the value of the property. A professionally trained garden designer will interpret the client’s brief with flair and imagination and can reduce both the time and costs of maintenance whilst creating a garden which is in harmony with its surroundings.

And about the cost?

Using a garden designer is often less expensive than you might imagine. An overall design can be implemented in stages according to budget and save you from making costly mistakes at the outset.
