Creating beautiful outside spaces in Surrey and surrounding areas
Garden Design Service in Surrey and surrounding areas
How does it work?
1) We will start with a complimentary initial meeting to discuss your needs and to see the space that you would like me to work on.
2) I will prepare an intital design proposal and quote for the design.
3) Design options will be produced for you using CAD modelling software, where you will be able to virtually move around your new garden, allowing you to visualise the new space from all angles and help us to work together to agree your perfect garden.
4) Once we agree on a design I will produce a master plan, construction drawings, planting plans, project manage the garden build, and supply the plants for your project.
5) Relax in your beautiful garden!
About me
I am a graduate of the London College of Garden Design, however previously I was an NHS pharmacist and medical writer.
I qualified as a garden designer in 2022 and I am excited to embark on this new career, developing my style and skills through my love of nature and obsession with learning about sustainability and ways of protecting our environment.
In 2021 I decided to finally take the leap and fulfil a life long dream to work in a creative field; previously working for 10+ years in the NHS. I have always loved art, but at school took a more scientific path, a choice that was always a niggling regret. On maternity leave I joined the RHS as a volunteer and rediscovered a love of gardening and nature, which brought back fond memories of gardening with my mother as a child. At RHS Wisley I attended Andrew Wilson’s presentation “So you think you want to be a Garden Designer?” and here the desire to fulfil artistic dreams, combined with a love of nature and science all fell in to place and the journey to becoming a garden designer began.
I aim to take my knowledge of health and work with the power of nature to create healing natural spaces that are sustainable and sensitive to the environment and natural world.
