Gardens can change lives. A green outdoor space promotes feelings of joy and serenity and can help to put life’s problems into perspective.
Clients become attached to their garden if they are closely involved with the design and have enjoyed seeing it unfold on the ground. The designer and client form a team, with the landscaper and other craftspeople, to create a special place with its own particular atmosphere.
My gardens are a response to the taste and practical requirements of my clients in the context of the house in its setting. It is rewarding to take time to establish the brief and then make a garden which seems natural and inevitable not 'designed'.
