    Beginning her career as a gardener through the WRAGS apprenticeship scheme before achieving a City & Guilds Diploma in Horticulture, Katrina's progression into garden design has been shaped by years of hands-on experience, continual learning and close collaboration with clients, gardeners and specialist craftspeople. This practical foundation informs every design, ensuring each garden is both beautiful and sustainable for the long term.

    Katrina has a particular passion for plant-led ecological landscaping, believing that successful gardens should work in harmony with nature while responding sensitively to their surroundings. She is equally passionate about the careful restoration and long-term management of established gardens, respecting their history while thoughtfully guiding their future development.
