Garden Design
	Garden design is probably unique among the spatial  arts in the often dramatic way that it changes with    the fourth dimension, time. Since the dawn of civilisation       mankind has modified his environment in order to           express ideas, but today gardens are also increasingly seen as               living spaces, extensions of the house (or school, or business),                   rather than just places to do gardening.                       I try in all my work to create a dialogue between building and garden,                            and to structure the planting in such a way that it complements                                the spaces between the buildings.

	About me
	After 20 years working as an architect, I decided in 1989             to return to university to study landscape architecture,         and now specialise in the design of private gardens.     My work is based on a lifelong love of plants and a strong   grounding in hard landscape design and construction.  I try always to provide a solution which fully satisfies client aspirations, and is at the same time appropriate for its setting. Drawings, specifications and planting schedules are produced  on an Acorn RISC PC computer running the reliable      and versatile RISC OS 4.02 operating system.
