Why Study with Me?
As an experienced Garden Designer I will help you gain the skills you need to create a beautiful, sustainable wildlife garden with confidence. After working in the field for many years, I now offer a wonderful Planting Design Service, where I put my expertise of plants into practice, creating gorgeous gardens for my clients. I want to share my extensive plant knowledge with you, helping you choose stunning plant combinations which will thrive in the conditions of your garden. I have mentored many garden professionals who want to build confidence with their own plant knowledge, and I have taught many people about different elements of garden design, plant choices, and creating sustainable gardens. I trained at the renowned Capel Manor College in London, and I have completed my training in Permaculture Design and Engaging Children in Permaculture, which beautifully supports my passion for growing food and creating sustainable gardens that support our native wildlife. I guarantee you will have a rich learning experience as I pass on my expert knowledge to you.
Gain the skills to confidently style and choose plants for your garden over twelve exciting weeks.
