GARDEN-grown botanical goods.

Welcome to my garden studio - a place where botanical design ideas get tested and trialled to share with others. It’s my little patch of ‘good vibes only’ space in this world.

My current garden is still only a few years old, with the knowledge that a gardener must have much patience and vision to see them through the first few years of establishment. Nevertheless, we work as we go, battling sand and Kikuyu and the family dog’s rampages - largely working by hand over the seasons, as inspiration, time and motivation allow.

Because I design and consult for other people’s gardens as well as designing my own, I am always pushing to learn more, refine and develop new ideas from my own hands-on experience, not just from books (of which there is also much learning!). In fact, I really went to garden design school so I could learn how to design my own garden just the way I wanted it!

We live here too, so we garden with the entirety of nature and human health in mind - we use organic emulsions and compost applications throughout the seasons to keep the soil humming with biodiversity and life-supporting, healthy ecosystems and people.
