The Samaritans Garden. A garden for the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower show, in collaboration with fellow garden designer Wendy Allen.

Curvy garden. Challenging because the boundaries formed a very irregular shape. The keen gardeners wanted lots of space for planting as well as generous areas for entertaining.

Small is beautiful garden. The young professional owner of this garden wanted a peaceful retreat to potter, sip a glass of wine and relax after a busy day.

Classic cottage garden. Set on a hillside and attached to a Victorian cottage, this garden is a plantsman's paradise.

Country house herbaceous border. This large border just wasn't 'working'. By introducing structure, texture and extending the season of interest it now more than earns its place in the garden.

Garden on a shoestring. The young owners of this very small garden were keen to undertake the build themselves, using many existing materials to keep costs down.
