Gardens have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. They were the playgrounds of my childhood, later they became retreats from the daily demands of life, and places to enjoy time with friends, family and pets. My path to becoming a garden designer, though, started partly by chance. We lived in London and had just bought a property in Italy that I was burning to turn into the most spectacular Italian garden the world had seen.
My husband promptly challenged me to prove I had what it took to design such a project. Never one to shy away from a challenge, I entered a UK-wide garden design competition and, to my great surprise, came runner up! This success came to me at a stage in my life when I was looking for a career change, away from marketing towards something new and exciting.
Thus encouraged, I decided to pursue this new path and began my professional training as a garden designer at the British Academy of Garden Design. My passion for landscape design was fostered further by studying with renowned designers John Brookes, Noel Kingsbury and Piet Oudolf.

This urban garden in the Queen Anne neighbourhood of Seattle is a riot of colour throughout the seasons.
We created a sustainable, insect-friendly planting design with perennials for sun and shade, using native and other low maintenance plants.
The garden has an area dedicated to a wildflower meadow.
Edibles such as wild strawberries and blueberries are also grown.
We installed a drip-irrigation system controlled by Alexa throughout the space.
