Philosophy
A thoughtfully designed garden adds a great deal to everyday life. It extends your living space, supports the wellbeing of you and your family, and gives you somewhere to relax and enjoy.
I create immersive gardens that connect people with nature, taking a sensitive approach to both the immediate site and the wider landscape. Each garden is designed for you and your home, with a careful balance of planting and landscaping materials.
My soft, naturalistic planting reflects your tastes, from traditional to contemporary, and is chosen to give interest throughout the year. I select materials with equal attention, adding distinctive design details while keeping the overall result elegant and timeless.

Polly thoughtfully designed our small garden which now looks more spacious, is practical for our family and contains lovely full flower beds with plants to bring interest for every season.”
My work
I live in Frome, Somerset and create outdoor space across Somerset, Wiltshire, Bath and Bristol. I began my first course in 2008 and have been learning ever since. I hold a Diploma with Distinction from Kensington and Chelsea School of Design, a Diploma in Horticulture from Plumpton Collage and a BSc in Geography.
As an experienced plantswoman, my particular interest is in naturalistic and ecological planting, which I combine with a thorough understanding of design and materials to create spaces that sit comfortably in their surroundings.
