Growing up, my parents instilled in me the art of cultivating fruit and vegetables, complete with our own flock of chooks. The garden served as a dynamic space for play, family events, and even a source of pocket money through lawn mowing. These formative experiences have fueled my ambition to design and nurture gardens, driving me to: 1. Collaborate with clients to bring their dream gardens to life. 2. Recognize our responsibility in caring for outdoor spaces. 3. Foster connections among friends, families, neighbors, and communities. 4. Educate and share the joy of gardens and gardening. 5. Contribute to wildlife conservation. 6. Cultivate our own food. Upon relocating to the UK after a successful 20-year career in fundraising, I felt a deep yearning for a more creative path. Retraining at The British Academy of Garden Design marked a pivotal moment, leading to the establishment of my studio. My prior career equipped me with invaluable skills – from attentive listening and logical thinking to effective communication and project management. Now, I blend these skills to transform your early dreams for a beautiful garden into a tangible reality.
