About
I am an RHS-qualified gardener based in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire, with a passion for biodiversity, sustainability, and wellbeing.
Originally a veterinary surgeon, I have combined my scientific background with a lifelong connection to nature and gardening. My work focuses on helping people care for gardens and outdoor spaces as living systems, supporting wildlife, sustainability, and wellbeing in ways that are both practical and achievable.
Whether you need practical help, guidance, or collaboration, I can help with:
Supporting wildlife and biodiversity by finding practical and achievable ways to care for your garden that work for both you and nature.
Improving sustainability through thoughtful gardening practices that help your garden thrive while making the most of available resources and adapting to changing environmental conditions.
Creating outdoor spaces that support wellbeing and connection with nature, helping you enjoy your garden more deeply and develop a stronger relationship with the natural world around you.
I work with gardens and outdoor spaces of all sizes, including private, community, and workplace settings, taking an organic, ecological, and sustainable approach tailored to the needs of each site and the people who use it.
My background in veterinary science, animal welfare, and zoology helps inform my understanding of gardens as interconnected living systems. Combined with professional horticultural training through the RHS Level 2 Certificate and a lifelong love of gardening, this allows me to bring together scientific understanding, practical experience, and a nature-led approach in my work.
I am a member of multiple horticultural and nature-based organisations, helping me stay informed about current research and best practice so that I can continue to develop and apply evidence-based approaches in my work.
Please get in touch if you would like to know more or are interested in working together. You can also follow me on social media or sign up to my newsletter for seasonal reflections, practical tips, and ideas around wildlife-friendly gardening, sustainability, and connecting with nature through your outdoor space.
