Meet hannah

I’m Hannah, a garden designer with a passion for creating elegant, liveable landscapes.

With over 75 years of family tradition working in horticulture, across three generations, my approach is grounded in trust, collaboration and creativity. I work with you closely to solve your biggest garden frustrations and understand how you want to live in and enjoy your outdoor space.

With a strong eye for layout, texture and flow, I don’t just design gardens, I solve problems, create structure and help you feel more at home in your garden.

I hold a Garden Design Diploma with distinction from the Oxford College of Garden Design - one of the most respected garden design schools in the field - where I now also tutor.

Tutoring allows me to share my knowledge and passion of the industry with up and coming designers, whilst also ensuring I stay connected to the latest thinking and techniques in the industry.

Before retraining in garden design, I spent over a decade working in corporate strategy and project management for a global fast-moving consumer goods company. With a degree in accounting and a deep interest in design and spatial psychology, I bring both strategic thinking and creativity to every garden I shape.

READY TO CREATE YOUR DREAM GARDEN?

Every great garden starts with understanding not only your vision, wants and needs but also the frustrations you have with your existing space. This short assessment helps me to learn more about your space, style and priorities.

Tell me about your garden

It takes just a few minutes to complete, and the more detail you share, the better I can help tailor ideas to you.

Once you have completed, I will contact you shortly to discuss the results; alternatively, book a call with me now.
