Introduction
I live in Dibden Purlieu, a village on the edge of the New Forest, near Southampton. I started designing gardens in 2002 and I have completed a range of projects, large and small, covering mainly private gardens in Hampshire.
These have included "new build" locations, family gardens and more formal styles in keeping with older properties. Details of some of these can be seen in Portfolio. I provide a range of services, detailed in Process.
Qualifications and awards
These include:
-
An Honours degree in Mathematics from Durham University
