About

I am a professional horticulturist and ecological garden designer focused on climate-resilient and naturalistic planting schemes. My expertise spans organic no-dig systems, complex botanical recording, and precise structural pruning.

Currently, I balance hands-on estate maintenance as an Assistant Gardener with my independent design practice. In my estate role, I help manage intensive cut-flower production and historic borders while training and supervising volunteer teams. My recent freelance projects include co-designing a fully native water garden and developing a post-natural, drought-resilient dry garden engineered to thrive in poor soils.

I am proficient in technical masterplanning using AutoCAD and QGIS, and I actively study vascular plant distribution data with FLORON and the BSBI. Ultimately, my goal is to provide uncompromising, ecologically sound site stewardship and develop functioning, resilient landscapes that thrive in a changing climate.
