WELCOME 

​

I am a totally organic and eco aware Plant Plan Designer, Gardener and Allotmenteer based in East London. After almost 20 years travelling the world, working in the Interior Design industry as an Art Director and Interior Stylist for a variety of magazine titles including Livingetc...IKEA Family Live and Real Homes, I have finally dug deep and GONE OUTSIDE! 


I took a break to be a full-time mum to my two children. 10 years later, here I am, with 3 years of study at Capel Manor College of Horticulture alongside a year of both practical and theoretical study at OrganicLea. 

I am also a passionate organic edibles & gardening teacher. I teach part-time in local Primary Schools, here in Walthamstow, London. 

We create inspiring allotment style environments, sowing and growing organic edibles and wildlife friendly spaces as GrowEcoKids. Edible Playgrounds to suit your school needs and budget.

PLANTING PLANS 

Attention to Detail

Creating a PLANTING PLAN is a very affordable option if your looking for a change in colour, textures and style.  I can design a completely new plan or work within your existing borders to rejuvenate a tired garden. I work with nurseries who have native plants and wildflower plants available most of the year. If you need to update the garden, bulbs planted at the correct season are a really economical way to bring a fresh look and feel to your space outside. We can even plant them for your inside too! 

I would love the opportunity to work with you. Get in touch with me today.
