Garden and Floral designer in
the heart of the Cotswolds
Services
I design gardens — spaces that invite movement, calm, and a quiet connection to nature.
In a world where modern life often pulls us indoors and away from the natural world, I believe gardens can offer a powerful antidote. Being in a garden or engaging in the act of gardening supports mental and physical wellbeing. I design with this in mind, creating spaces that encourage stillness, presence, and a deeper connection to the seasons, working closely with my clients to understand their needs, aspirations, and the unique qualities of their space.
I also believe a garden should work hard throughout the year — offering beauty and joy in every season. I choose plants that support biodiversity, attract pollinators, and thrive without the need for chemicals. Every garden I design is an invitation to pause, to notice and to take part in something living.
Floral design & organically grown flowers
My flowers are seasonally curated, often unusual varieties chosen for their beauty, scent, and character.
I supply florists and individuals with my flowers and I also design with what I grow — creating natural, seasonal planters and arrangements that reflect the garden’s rhythm and the landscape around me. From wild bouquets to abundant, flower-filled spaces, my work is grounded in nature and guided by respect for it.
Garden whispering
Sometimes a garden just needs someone to listen and to show you how to do the same. These one-to-one sessions are gentle, practical, and personal.
I visit your home for around two hours, walking the space with you, asking questions, and offering ideas rooted in what’s already there.
Many people come to me because they’ve seen what I’ve created in my own garden, they trust my eye and they’re looking for guidance that’s honest, encouraging, and doable. Whether you’re unsure where to begin or need a nudge in the right direction, these visits help you see your garden differently and feel confident to move things forward.
Gardening supports mental wellbeing, and many want to connect with that — not just in the outcome, but in the doing. These sessions are designed to empower you, spark inspiration, and set you up to grow something of your own.

My background
I graduated with a 1st class degree in graphic design and began my career working for renowned fashion and music photographer Nick Knight. I then went on to establish Peepstudio; a London-based graphic design studio specialising in brand design for many high profile clients including Bloom & Wild, Avery Row, The V&A Museum, Southbank Centre and Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand Goop.
In my spare time I found joy in gardening. With a limited budget and a lot of passion, I transformed my own garden from a dull, lifeless concrete space into a vibrant haven teeming with growth and energy.
This experience and three young children sparked the desire for a more authentic and meaningful life, leading me to the world of garden design, and a diploma program with the RHS where I deepened my understanding of creating beautiful, functional outdoor spaces. I have since designed gardens for two schools in Gloucestershire and a private house in Broadway.
I’m especially interested in how gardens can support mental health and wellbeing. In an age of constant stimulation and disconnection from the natural world, I believe in the power of the garden to offer something real and grounding. I aim to create gardens that are biodiverse, resilient, and full of life — gardens that work hard across the year, both for people and for wildlife.
Alongside designing gardens, I grow unusual, seasonal flowers and I use these blooms in my own floral design work. In addition, I offer one-to-one consultations for people who want to shape or reimagine their own gardens — helping them read the space, understand the plants and work with nature.
How I work
With a 20 year career in graphic design, I bring a deep understanding of space, scale, colour, and texture to my work.
Inspired by the ever-changing Cotswold landscape, my style is relaxed and natural, reflecting the organic beauty and rhythms of the seasons. I design with a sense of freedom and softness — always with the aim of creating something that supports wellbeing, invites connection, and offers lasting interest throughout the year.
My process always begins with listening. Whether I’m designing a garden, creating seasonal floral installations, growing bespoke flowers for a wedding, or helping someone make sense of their own garden, I work closely to understand each client’s needs, hopes and aspirations.
I offer garden design services, floral design using the flowers I grow, and individual consultations — often called ‘garden whispering’ — for those who want to learn how to shape their own space in a more intentional, intuitive way. At the heart of everything is a respect for nature, a love of seasonal beauty, and a belief in the quiet power of gardens and flowers to make life feel a little more grounded, joyful and alive.
