Consulting

I’ve been gardening for and with clients for over 25 years.

Walking through one of the productive flower gardens in late summer, with the studio in the background

I am a horticulturalist, garden designer and educator on growing cut flowers, seasonal connection and regenerative practise.

I’ve spend years designing multi acre gardens with eye watering budgets with buildings, natural swimming pools and all sorts of bespoke elements. But. The gardens I love to design now, and are most beautiful are those that speak of the place, the location and the owner.

I now work with clients that want to create an atmosphere of place, to garden alongside nature and create incredible planting schemes. These usually are low maintenance, biodiverse, a personal place of resistance, refuge, shelter and joy whilst making a real positive climate contribution. And most often, productive, both for flowers and food.

The long border at the plots - One of the experimental borders. 30m long x 4 metres at widest. One weeded once per year and never watered!

I write about all this work, the research and development I learn through my own growing and garden spaces, and with clients, here in Floral Notes.

If you’d like to work with me you can do so in 3 ways.

A consultation online - suits those abroad or afar.
A consultation in your garden or growing space (or here on my plots).
Flower Sessions - Book an evening to cut, condition & arrange flowers here in the studio, in the centre of the plots.
