I believe a garden should invite curiosity and conjure the child in us all
Garden Design
A garden shouldn’t give everything away in one fell swoop, unless you are after a croquet lawn. I believe it should invite curiosity and conjure the child in us all.

Case Studies
Quick Turnover Project
St. Paul’s, Bristol
The brief:A buy to sell quick turnover project with a limited budget. My brief was to remove the existing jungle of weeds and overgrowth, along with years of detritus (household and hazardous waste) and get the garden back to its ‘bones’ in order to make the garden presentable to prospective buyers. The budget given was to include laying of new turf to one side, erect fencing, lay a small patio area and plant in some small evergreen shrubs and grasses. There wasn’t any scope for creative vision, given the timescale and budget but the final transformation was remarkable.
Raised Beds Development
Residential Garden, Bristol
The Brief: To level the site, build two 8’x4’ raised vegetable beds and plant appropriate vegetables. The client wanted gravel to surround the beds and requested the upcycling of bricks on site to be used for marking an entrance to the vegetable garden.
