Her specialist eye for colour and critical understanding of structure is what makes Laura’s plant schemes utterly breathtaking. Laura has spent years refining and researching the most suitable plants for all types of British gardens. Laura is fixated on the intimate details of each plant - carefully designing the garden to work in harmony with its surroundings. Teeny tiny details such as stem colour, leaf shape, silhouette or even the colour of the seed-head will inform Laura’s decision making when designing a bespoke scheme.
