After qualifying for a Diploma in Garden Design with the KLC School of Design in London, I set up my practice in 2005 and now provide garden consultants, design and planting schemes for gardens, mainly in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. I am a pre-registered member of the Society of Garden Designers, the professional association for garden designers in the UK, which means that the standard of design work I produce has been approved by the Society and I can work towards full registration. I gained a Royal Horticultural Society Certificate in Horticulture in 2009 which I passed with a commendation. From this and my own experience of gardening over many years I have built up the horticultural knowledge to create appropriate and beautiful planting schemes.
