I grew up in New Zealand and have been interested in plants and gardening as long as I can remember. I was influenced strongly by both of my grandmothers who were avid and productive gardeners.

As a family, my husband, two children and I, moved to Adelaide in 2002. Not long after our arrival I was fortunate to discover the garden design course at Urrbrae TAFE. I started this in 2004 and completed my studies receiving the Diploma of Garden Design in 2008.

I have been a serial craftsperson and have enjoyed decoupage, card making, sewing, knitting, stained glass lead lighting but currently all my creative ideas are directed to my garden design.

I LOVE growing and eating food fresh from the garden.
