spokewise Creating, managing and maintaining the balance between natural and created elements is at the heart of my gardening work considering materials, composition and location of features within the landscape. My work brings together over thirty years in public and private gardens, study and travel. Observations and experience working in natural and man-made landscapes come together to create and manage horticulture and garden projects.
From selection of plants and materials to ongoing pruning and management of trees and shrubs the focus of my work is always to deliver quality & attention to detail. Where possible and appropriate I use hand and battery powered tools to ensure a quality finish and minimise environmental impact.
