Dorset Garden Design

After qualifying in June 2009 with a Distinction in Advanced Garden Design at Kingston Maurward College, Dorchester, I was asked to design ‘The Good Life Garden’ for Galton and Wimborne Garden Centres for the Dorset County Show. It was my first ever Show Garden and I was delighted to be awarded the coveted Floral Pavilion Gold Medal. I gained further qualifications in June 2010 in Garden and Planting Design also at Kingston Maurward College.

I went on to design The Officers’ Mess ‘Italian Garden’ at Allenby Army Barracks, Bovington, Dorset, which was officially opened with the cutting of a red ribbon and a formal dinner with the Officers! I have project managed the new rose gardens for Lord Normanton on the Somerley House Estate and was overjoyed to be invited to appear on ITV's 'The Alan Titchmarsh Show' as part of his 'Gardener's Question Time' feature.

I have since designed many Mediterranean gardens in the Purbecks as the summer climate and soil is perfect for this style to include my signature Italian Cypress trees.

With my design studio based in Chaldon Herring near Lulworth Cove, I travel all over Dorset and further afield, having already established a large Portfolio with an interesting range of garden designs that cover a wide variety of concepts and themes.

I have a professional team of landscapers who work alongside me, and I am very much involved with project managing my designs whilst in build. 

I also love painting and have my artwork for sale in local galleries and on my art website:
