Landscapes, nature and art have always inspired me but I have inherited the love of gardens from my mother, and her mother and father before her.  Some of my earliest memories are playing in my grand-parents’ garden, hopping along their stepping stone path and enjoying the unforgettable smell of sweet peas. 

​

My path in adulthood initially ventured into the world of science and technology, from a Honours Degree in Biochemistry, to Management Consultancy and then to Commercial Aviation.  I enjoyed travelling to places of outstanding natural beauty and enjoyed the magnificence of the earth’s landscape from my aerial view in the flight deck.

In more recent years, after having our three daughters, our garden provided me with a therapeutic way to emerge from a difficult time of poor health.  It rekindled my love of nature and my creative spirit and inspired me to follow a path in Garden Design.​ 

I enrolled at KLC School of Design for a Diploma in Garden Design.  2020 was a really challenging year of intensive study, as well as being an immense source of inspiration at a difficult time.  During this time, my thought-provoking, environmentally-themed ‘Eye of Providence’ Garden won a Bronze Medal at Moscow Flower Show 2020.
