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

 I love plants. Their beauty and resilience will never cease to amaze me. I love design. Materials, objects and living things interact in a space and create beauty. I love gardens - small or big, artificial pockets of nature that are trying to bring us closer to it. When I first opened a garden design book in 2005 and saw the pictures, it felt like coming home. Years pass, trends change but the design, simple strong shapes, great materials and above all the plants are still the love of my life.
