   In their own words 
--------------------

 Clare initially trained as a lawyer and had a successful career in the UK and Australia. She has always had a passion for landscape and plants and so retrained as a garden designer at KLC School of Design in London. She has a keen eye for detail and takes great care to fully understand what our clients need from their outdoor space. She relishes being involved collaboratively to create harmonious spaces which evolve through the seasons and respond to both the history of the site and the wider landscape. Clare attained a Distinction from KLC School of Design and completed the RHS Level 2 diploma in Horticulture.
