After a successful senior management career I took the decision to do something completely different, based around my long-time passion for plants and creating my own gardens. Having gained experience of hands-on horticulture at two large gardens, Heckfield Place and the Gilbert White Garden, I undertook a Post-graduate Diploma in Residential Landscape Design at the Oxford College of Garden Design, where I was awarded Student of the Year. Widely regarded as one of the top contemporary garden design courses in the world, this gave me a thorough grounding in all aspects of landscape design, including technical construction and using computer design software to produce 2D and 3D plans.
Since completing my diploma I have undertaken a number of commissions for clients in Hampshire, which can be viewed in my portfolio.
