Healthy soil : Healthy plants

Thriving plants come from healthy soil. Looking after your soil is the first step in creating a garden that sings with biodiversity and life.

Wildlife habitats and biodiversity 

Animals and insects are reducing in populations. We can do our bit to help restore the balance by encouraging a variety of wildlife into our gardens. I create wildlife habitats that provide shelter, food and water to develop biodiverse rich ecosystems.

Beautiful spaces

Beautiful diverse planting with a naturalistic look. Natural doesn’t need to be messy. I use blends of plant textures, shapes and forms to create interest and movement.

Joyful connections

Create spaces you want to engage in and bring connections with nature. Gardens you can enjoy and relax in and observe the wildlife around you.

Sustainable practices

When we work with nature in a sustainable way we maintain biodiversity and achieve a natural balance. Conserving water, mulching soil, composting.

Edible ecosystems

Forest gardens are functional and beautiful with a blend of edible and ornamental plants. Layered planting packs a lot of diversity into a small area and provides food for you, habitats for wildlife and protects the soil. Nutrition and joy in the same space!
