Design Portfolio

I am a garden designer working across Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire and Oxfordshire.

Every garden presents a unique opportunity. These projects showcase a range of designs, united by a commitment to creating spaces that feel connected to their surroundings, rich in seasonal interest and carefully tailored to the way each client wants to live outdoors.

The Goodness Within Garden at The Royal Windsor Show June 2026

The Goodness Within garden explored the idea of a regenerative, edible landscape - the garden had two halves to it - one side with a native edible meadow featuring a small pond with edible plants, and mycelium posts. The other half of the garden featured edible ornamental plants, with a key hole garden in to which vegetables were growing.

From the first concept to the final installation, Claire’s creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail were exceptional. She understood exactly what we wanted to express as a charity and brought it to life with passion and precision. The garden became a true highlight of the show thanks to her vision and hard work.

Wokingham Modern Garden with Garden Room

A contemporary garden where curved borders and naturalistic planting create depth, movement and a series of inviting spaces, seamlessly connecting the house, garden and new garden room.

Claire is easy to deal with and works collaboratively to make sure that you will be left with a garden that you will want to spend plenty of time in."" McDonough 2025"

Wokingham Modern Town Garden

Modern garden design tailored for contemporary living.

This garden is crafted for a family with teenagers, allowing them to use the space according to their lifestyle. It includes a seating area near the back doors for enjoying morning coffee and breakfast.

Cottage Garden, Nr. Bramley, Hampshire

Having recently moved into the property, the clients were keen to create a garden that felt more integrated with the surrounding landscape while accommodating an enlarged driveway.

The design introduces a sheltered seating area that takes advantage of a natural sun trap, creating a welcoming space to enjoy the garden. Informal cottage-style planting and multi-stem trees will provide seasonal interest, enhance biodiversity, and help establish a sense of maturity from the outset.

Our front garden was drab and dreary. We now have a vibrant, beautifully designed space for us to enjoy for many years to come. Claire listened to what we would like and made suggestions along the way. We've had so many compliments and can't wait for the transformation of our back garden

Modern Country Planting Design, Reading, Berkshire

A large Mediterranean-inspired terrace is complemented by generous planting beds, offset to create distinct zones for dining and relaxation.

The clients wanted a richly textured planting scheme that would provide year-round interest, enhanced by seasonal highlights that bring moments of surprise and delight throughout the year.
