About Me

I’m a qualified Garden Designer based in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire and have been gardening for over twenty years on all sorts of sites and conditions. After having my children, I decided to change my long career working in creative roles in broadcast television and follow my passion. In 2016 I started a three year course at Capel Manor College, London to retrain as a garden designer and I qualified in 2019.

I really love helping people achieve their dream gardens. Whether it's making tricky sites work better, achieving year round interest in a garden that only looks good in June or helping to make your outdoor space pleasurable for all the family.

I am a Pre-registered member of the Society of Garden Designers and hold Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance.

Testimonials

‘Laura created an amazing family garden for us this year. Starting with an initial visit and brief through to design options, final technical drawings and planting plan working to our budget. Laura sees through each stage from the design and budget to communicating and site visits with landscaping contractors and finally planting.

Laura really listened to our brief took on our likes and dislikes incorporating in the final design down to the choice of plants and trees for the space. I only wish we could do the project again, Thank you!’

HP, Chalfont St Peter

‘I have no hesitation in recommending Laura to redesign any garden. Laura really took the time to understand what we wanted from our garden, and our likes and dislikes. She had so many wonderful design ideas whilst keeping to a reasonable budget.

She has designed and planted us a garden that is absolutely stunning but also works practically for our family. Her knowledge of plants is fantastic and the comprehensive 'how to care for each new plant' guide she has written for us is just the icing on the cake. Thanks so much Laura!’

AH, Little Kingshill, Buckinghamshire

‘After a number of years staring at our very suburban, mostly lawned and sparsely planted garden we asked Laura to help us create a more joyful and interesting space that was also able to work for our young family, and with minimal maintenance.

Laura’s holistic approach to garden design means that her extensive horticultural knowledge informs bespoke recommendations for a garden that ideally suits the space as well as owner preferences.

The look of our garden is transformed, a previously boring, flat and shady space is now full of colour, height, and plant diversity.’ 

SF, Prestwood, Buckinghamshire

‘We are so pleased with how our gardens look. Laura’s service is first class. With the time, knowledge and advice she gave, we now have gardens which are perfect for exactly what we want from them.

KC, Little Kingshill, Buckinghamshire

I have been delighted in the transformation of my Mediterranean area.. you managed to create the vision that I had of how it should look .. the choice of all the plants were varied and just perfect for the area … it was fun doing the project and you did it extremely efficiently and delivered on time!

SB, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire

‘Our previously well-loved garden had been neglected in the years before we purchased the house so we enlisted the help of Laura to bring the front garden back to its former glory. 

The depth of Laura’s knowledge and understanding of plants is astonishing and she really took the time to plan the garden to ensure that it would reflect what we wanted. By redistributing our existing plants and interspersing many new ones, as well as planting numerous bulbs over the course of a few months, Laura has absolutely exceeded the brief. 

We couldn’t be happier with the results and we’re excited to see how the garden develops over the next few years under Laura’s watchful eye!’ 

CH, Little Missenden, Buckinghamshire
