My Philosophy
My designs are informed by sustainability which I define as:
Practicality easily maintained gardens by using plants which suit the situation
Longevity no quick fix or instant gardens but gardens which mature and become more interesting as time passes.
Garden design
There are two schools of garden design: one is the hard landscaping; the other is planting design. My emphasis is on planting design.
The planting should have a good backbone of evergreens, so that even in the depths of winter the space outside the window should look appealing.
Equally, the garden should reflect the changing seasons which brings an element of surprise to the garden visitor.
To enjoy the garden, every space, however small, should have a seating / dining area.
