Garden Designer in Ilkley, West Yorkshire
Designing distinctive gardens for over 20 years
About me
With over 20+ years of experience designing gardens in London, France, Spain, and now Yorkshire, I’ve created gardens that have incorporated swimming pools, Egyptian temples, spaces for yoga, even a train. I can create an ever-exciting garden, whatever your brief.
I studied Landscape Architecture at the University of Sheffield, gaining a B.Sc and M.A. I then put my landscape design degree into practice in garden makeovers and maintaining gardens.
I have a particular passion for edible plants - colour, fragrance, edible credentials, the more a plant can offer the better. I like gardens to be as interactive as possible. I’m equally passionate about getting nature back into gardens, enhancing the habitat not just for my clients.
My work as a landscape designer has seen me create gardens for people at all stages of life, and answer all manner of creative challenges.

Covering Ilkley, West Yorkshire, I offer expert garden and landscape design with a focus on planting and long-term care. From initial concept and bespoke planting schemes to ongoing maintenance, I bring creativity, structure and attention to detail to every outdoor space — whether it’s a full redesign or a seasonal refresh. Every garden is shaped by my deep understanding of plants, place and purpose, resulting in spaces that are both beautiful and easy to live with.
