Thirty years of
making gardens

Hello, I'm Gill

I've been a professional garden designer for over thirty years, and I still get the same thrill from a border coming into flower as I did on day one.

I trained at the College of Garden Design under Lucy Huntington and Robin Williams, and completed a specialist plant course at Capel Manor. That grounding shaped everything about how I work: my design emphasis is on planting, and on how soft landscaping can provide instant impact and lasting joy.

A well-designed garden should never stop performing. With the right layers of bulbs, perennials, grasses, shrubs and structure, there is always something beautiful to see, whatever the month. That's the standard I design to, whether the project is a courtyard or a country estate.

How I like to work

Gently, honestly and collaboratively. Gardens are personal, and the best ones grow out of proper conversations about how you live, what you love, how much time you really want to spend gardening. No pressure, no jargon; just experienced, friendly advice and a plan that fits your life.

Where I work

Most of my gardens are in Oxfordshire, Norfolk and the Home Counties, though I'm always happy to talk about projects a little further afield.
