Bespoke Garden Design, Consultation & Planting Plans
I provide practical growing advice and tailored planting plans that bridge the gap between functionality and ecological richness. Whether you are looking to revitalise a single border or redesign a larger space, I specialise in creating spaces that are as productive as they are beautiful.
My Philosophy
I believe in working with nature, not against it. By focusing on native species and heritage plants, I design gardens that are:
Ecologically Sustainable: Boosting local biodiversity and soil health.
Historical & Story-led: Integrating heritage varieties with rich backstories.
Year-Round Interest: Ensuring your space remains vibrant and productive through every season.
Low-Intervention: Utilising maintainable, organic methods to save you time and effort.
Garden Consultations cost £45 for !hr - Please note when more than 30 mins from the EX6 postcode a 45p per mile travel fee will occur.
Informational Talks & Workshops
I am available for engaging, educational talks tailored to garden clubs, community groups, or educational institutions. My current presentation series covers:
The Heritage Seed Story: What are heritage seeds, and why they are vital for the future of food security. Understanding the difference between F1 hybrids and open-pollinated heritage seeds.
Living History: Exploring the fascinating origins and folklore of selected plant species.
The Organic Toolkit: Pest control & Fertilisers
Traditional Cultivation: No-Dig techniques, the Three Sisters/Di Milpa system, Permaculture and Companion Planting.
Seed Saving: Essential tips and tricks to help you close the loop in your own garden.
Have a specific interest? I am happy to tailor any talk to focus on the plants or growing methods that matter most to your group.

What Sets My Style Apart
Genuinely environmentally friendly
All advice, plans and designs are created with our natural environment firmly at the centre.
Encouraging permaculture and ensuring cultivars lend themselves to organic growing methods; I focus on soil health and providing food for pollinators year round to create a healthy ecosytem and a haven for wildlife.
Heritage and Native Varieties
Prioritising our wonderful native and heritage plants whether it be wild flowers, show stopping shrubs or majestic trees.
Weaving history and folklore through your garden, the plants i choose will be beautiful without introducing invasive species, helping protect our native biodiversity.
Functional Plants
Using plants serving two or more purposes such as culinary, medicinal, ornamental, or ecological roles, transforming your garden into a abundant, efficient, and useful ecosystem.
These "double-duty" plants maximize potential in small spaces, provide year-round interest, and built in resilience.
Gardens that work for you and grow with you.
Spaces that are designed for low maintenance, high efficiency, and flexibility, allowing them to mature alongside your skill level or changing lifestyle.
I will work with you to make sure your practical needs and aesthetic ambitions are met.
