ABOUT ME

Since completing my studies in garden design and horticulture in 2022, I have been interested in creating practical and inspiring gardens. I particularly like to include natives where appropriate. Plant selection is so important in our changing environment. Every garden has its unique charms and issues and good garden design provides satisfying solutions for a site’s individuality. I’d love to discuss your garden aspirations with you. Please take a look at the services I offer and the testimonials from clients.

I work part-time as a gardener at Larnach Castle in Dunedin (a 6-star Garden of International Significance) where I am lucky to be able to soak up the extensive knowledge of owner Margaret Barker and head gardener Fiona Eadie.
