Welcome to the Art and Craft of gardening..

Garden design and horticulture  for creative gardeners. 

Have you ever thought that you could do so much more with your garden but you just don’t know where to start? If you’ve ever felt that your garden could be your canvas then you’ve come to the right place. 

I am an Edinburgh based garden designer, and gardener. I offer garden design and horticulture services focusing on working with gardeners and nature lovers to create beautiful, cohesive plant filled gardens.

Whether your outdoor space lacks cohesion and requires a new layout to pull it together, or the overall design works but the planting isn’t quite right -  combining design principles, coupled with good plant choice, and gardening practices can create a garden which is vibrant, beautiful, and interesting year-round.
