Gardens are an intense but personal experience of the outdoor world. Our concentrated efforts at beautifying such a space must give an intense return. To do this, elements and plants must be pieced together with coherence to generate "critical mass." I have two guidelines which I adhere to as much as possible: 'never beautify one environment at the expense of another' and 'observe the 80/20 rule: 80% softscape and 20% hardscape'.

I create gardens which are immersive, ecologically driven, climate adapted and rich in diversity and beauty. Gardens are Nature's spring board into the next evolution of our ecosystems, all of which are in rapid flux as climate change becomes a major disruptor. Gardens I create are resilient and adapted to this new future: beautiful, useful, sheltering and peaceful.
