I graduated with distinction from the Oxford College of Garden Design in the UK with a diploma in Residential Garden Design. I honed my eye for design while living abroad in the UK, Austria, China and Russia and traveling widely. I also hold a Permaculture Design Certificate from Oregon State University and am a certified master gardener.
I work with Charleston area homeowners to transform outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional landscapes. Whether for new construction or an existing yard, I use ecological design principles to enhance clients' health and well-being while reducing the need for the excess water, energy, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides that damage natural ecosystems.
I also offer hourly consulting services for 3D modeling, urban food production, permaculture, wildlife habitats, composting, rain gardens, pollinator gardens, and drainage issues.
