Born in England, I grew up with an appreciation for the beauty of nature and the wonders of gardening.
After moving to the Pacific Northwest in 1996 I joined one of the leading garden nurseries as a garden plant specialist and discovered the satisfaction of designing container gardens. Helping hundreds of customers create beautiful combinations of plants to enhance their outdoor living spaces is always a delight. Providing a service where I can take all the time, stress and guesswork out of the design process for you, gives me the greatest satisfaction.
I write inspirational design articles on my blog, am a regular contributor to several publications including Fine Gardening and am the PNW garden writer for Houzz. I have appeared on Komo 4 and King 5 TV as well as being a regular guest of Ciscoe Morris on Kiro radio. My new book Fine Foliage, co-authored with Christina Salwitz (St. Lynn’s Press) was released in February 2013.
Listed on the Great Garden Speakers website, I frequently give presentations at national flower & garden shows, trade conferences, nurseries and garden clubs.
It would give me great pleasure to help you create your perfect jardinet and share my love of gardening with you.
