Rachel studied Garden Design at the London College of Garden Design at Kew Gardens, graduating with Distinction.  After qualifying, Rachel spent time working alongside a number of experienced and award-winning garden designers. She also studied horticulture at Hever Castle, Kent. Rachel is a Pre-registered Member of the Society of Garden Designers.

Rachel is passionate about design and creating beautiful, practical, inspiring outdoor spaces that not only meet the desires & needs of her clients but also allow space for nature & wildlife too. Rachel loves to create sustainable, biodiverse gardens with a low carbon footprint, and strongly believes in the beneficial effects such spaces can have on your wellbeing and quality of life.
