A garden made by hand.
I grow and design with flowers, I visit peoples homes to help them make the most of their outdoor spaces, and I design gardens for families and schools — spaces that invite movement, calm, and a quiet connection to nature.
My own garden grows in rhythm with the seasons – full of texture, colour and movement. The plants lean toward the light, sway in the wind, catch frost in winter and bring my family joy through cold, wind, rain and sun. I’m part of it all — the sowing, propagating, planting, waiting, wilting — the quiet daily changes that come with each season.
Working with nature rather than trying to shape it too tightly matters to me. My garden sits between the wild and the orchestrated. I care about the health of the pollinators that visit my flowers, the worms in my soil and the birds who eat them, so I never use chemicals. I grow everything I can from seed or bare root – knowing when to sow, how to grow and how to work with the weather and pests who love my garden as much as I do. I also keep bees!
a bit about me.
I graduated with a 1st in graphic design and began a 20 year career working for Vogue photographer Nick Knight. From there I founded my own design studio in South Kensington, with clients including Bloom & Wild, Avery Row and Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand Goop. In my spare time, gardening made me feel calm and happy and so on a tight budget I changed my own South London garden from a depressing space dominated by concrete to a space buzzing with growth and colour. I grew cornflowers first and I remember vividly the flowers self seeding down the road and growing up through cracks in the pavement. The sense of what was possible was overwhelming.
This experience sparked a desire to pursue a more authentic and meaningful life, along with an RHS diploma in Garden Design. Together with my architect husband and 3 children, I moved to a 400 year old cottage in Gloucestershire and set to work ripping out decades of overgrown and spiky generic conifer type shrubs and bamboo to make space for my favourite plants trees and flowers for colour, scent and structure for my family to enjoy all year round.
In summer 2023 I replaced designing on a computer to designing with plants full time and began working with local brands and business such as FarmED, Daylesford Organic, as well as designing gardens for private and education clients and supplying my organically grown flowers to local florists and for private events.
