About Me

Hi! I’m a British gardener, garden designer and tutor currently based in Australia. I offer personalised online gardening tuition and design services to help you solve your garden problems with creative, yet practical, nature-based solutions.

With a formal bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture and a combined decade of working for a top London garden design practice and then a national environmental charity, I can offer my expertise from a wide range of domestic, school and community projects.

At the start of 2024 I decided to leave London to take an extended sabbatical to the other side of the world. I have since been gardening and tutoring my way across New Zealand and Australia, deepening my practical knowledge and meeting many wonderful people along the way.

Would you like some help with your garden skills?

I offer one-on-one online garden design and botany tuition.

With ten year’s experience as a professional landscape designer and gardener, whether you are a home gardener or landscape professional I can help!

I offer:

• Garden maintenance tuition

• Help with planting designs

• A 12 week personalised garden design course

• RHS Level 2 tutoring

• SketchUp and Vectorworks help

• General garden consultation
