I love to bring a sense of continuity to all my projects and to create beautiful pieces which are both timeless and functional. Influenced by my artist parents who had a deep love of  gardening and history, I became bewitched by an old crystal bowl filled with bleached coral and paperwhite bulbs many years ago and so began my fascination for potted plants.   

​

After studying at the University of Cape Town, I worked  in urban regeneration on the V&A Waterfront.  I moved back to London in the late 80's and continued in urban regeneration with Sheppard Robson Architects.  With a growing passion for historic landscapes,  I studied garden design under John Brooks at RBG Kew and then worked at Elizabeth Banks & Assoc in historical garden restorations, where I assisted Tom Stuart-Smith and Todd Longstaffe-Gowan.

​

After many years in the corporate world, I launched The English Potted Plant Co. during Lockdown as a small online venture. We soon expanded into a variety of design projects from country gardens to Mayfair street boxes and we hand-planted over 2,000 potted plants! ​

 

Since moving to Oxfordshire, we now have a lovely 17th century barn to work from and the space for our growing potted plant range. You are very welcome to visit us here.
