In their own words

Jen was drawn to garden design by her passion for mental health and well-being. After a successful 20-year career in the corporate sector, she retrained as a garden designer to merge her creativity with a desire to create gardens that connect people with nature. She graduated with Distinction from the London College of Garden Design in 2021. Jen's design style strikes a balance between practicality and aesthetics, focusing on creating spaces that enhance how people use and enjoy their outdoor environments—whether for socialising, relaxing, appreciating nature, or simply unwinding in a beautiful setting. Jen's planting approach is tailored to each client’s preferences and the property’s style and surroundings, ensuring the garden integrates seamlessly with its environment. Her signature style often includes a foundation of evergreen plants paired with soft, naturalistic flowering varieties, offering colour, airiness, and seasonal interest.
