My passion for designing gardens began in Heidelberg, Germany in 1997 while working with American landscape designer John Blackmore. Those 6 years in beautiful Heidelberg provided me with invaluable experience in using a wide range of materials in combination with my background in fine art. I returned to Ireland in 2003 and for the past 20 years have been producing unique customised garden designs that are equally rooted in functionality and striking beauty. These gardens have ranged from small urban plots to large rural gardens.
Because I believe that attention to detail, sustainability, and long term vision are all important I works almost exclusively with Oliver Schurmann of the renowned Mount Venus Nursery who advises on, and supplies all our plants.
I also firmly believe that great design doesn't have to mean a big budget and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of making every garden functional and beautiful whatever the budget, and always maintain an ongoing future interest in every garden I design and build.
