Describe your approach to teaching.
My approach to teaching is to build confidence by sharing key tips and insights, highlighting those unusual plants and sophisticated combinations which can really make a garden stand out.

What inspires your own work?
I’m inspired by people’s enthusiasm to learn more about what plants give us - colour, shape and texture to create beautiful borders and gardens.
