Garden design with a commitment to ecology and a passion for the natural world.

Horticultural projects

  • The art and science of creating outdoor spaces that are functional, aesthetic and sustainable. Creating a cohesive and functional plant community that enhances the beauty of the landscape whilst also supporting the local ecosystem.

  • It’s important to minimise the negative impact on the environment while promoting the natural ecosystem.

  • I'm an experienced physician with a passion for horticulture. I write regularly for publications on topics such as horticulture, gardening and more.

My Projects

  • Chelsea Physic Garden

    As a freelancer I facilitate visits to the garden for groups of people who are interested to learn more about the historic cultural and scientific value of this unique garden in central London.

  • Lambeth GP Food Co-Op

    These gardens provide a space for people to socialise, learn new skills and share food together. This results in improved wellbeing, people feeling connected with a sense of agency and accomplishment.

  • Research and Writing

    I've co-authored several publications in the medical literature with colleagues from across the globe. I'm currently working on a set of horticultural writing projects for my RHS-accredited qualifications.

About Me

I am currently enrolled in the KLC-West Dean London Garden design diploma for 2024. Alongside this I facilitate nature-based sessions & workshops which allow individuals & groups to engage with the cultural, historical & medicinal value of plants.
