In the 1980s I studied at St Albans College of Horticulture in the UK, furthering my experience whilst working for a garden centre. After a year out travelling around the world, I returned to the UK and started my own landscaping business.

In the early 1990s I studied garden design with the English Gardening School at the Chelsea Physic Garden in London in order to gain a formal qualification in design.

In 2008 I moved to Australia and I am now pleased to be designing and building outdoor spaces on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
