"For me, garden design is about achieving a cohesive marriage of planting and hard materials which sits easily and gently within the local landscape. I believe that things are never as exciting in singularity as they are when they collide with something else - light and shade, soft and hard, old and new. I take inspiration from the forms and flowing curves of nature, and contrast these with sharp lines and a modern take on traditional materials. I try to create spaces to excite, as well as for respite, for exploration as well as contemplation, and believe that the best rewards come to those who stay a little longer, and wander a little further. I strive to ensure my personal values extend to my business - to be honest and transparent, to treat everything, living or otherwise, with 
respect, and to maintain a sense of humour in torrential downpours."
