About Me
I'm a qualified horticulturist with over 20 years' experience across private gardens and public parks in Australia and New Zealand.
I love finding the untapped potential in home gardens, helping people identify garden layouts and plant choices that overcome the challenges of their site.
I'm drawn to mixed borders loaded with biodiversity, creating gardens that become increasingly self-managing over time. Formal gardens, clipped hedges and high-maintenance schemes aren't my thing. I'm all about helping you create beautiful gardens that are relaxed, productive and easy to manage.
Above all, I want people to feel empowered in their outdoor spaces, leaving each session inspired and confident to tackle next steps on their own.
