I grew up in a family of keen gardeners, starting with my great grandmother who was still gardening two acres in her mid 80s.

 

During the early 1990s I spent four month in Kyoto, Japan. The experience had a profound impact on me. My gardening style is very much influenced by the cloistered temple gardens of Japan with the merging of inside and out. The garden is a space for reflection and meditation.​  When I moved to Field House the beautiful glass and brick extension by Adams + Collingwood had recently been completed. The garden remained untouched and provided a perfect blank canvass. Given the rectangular shape of the garden I opted for a paradise garden to complement the modern extension. The planting scheme is tropical.

 

 

As a psychotherapist I am interested in the healing properties of gardens.  More details on my professional profile.
