I work at the intersection of design, horticulture, culture, and systems—helping people and institutions think clearly, act deliberately, and create lasting impact.

I choose this before and after garden created for a show house in West Sussex England by Modular for one reason.  It is an odd shaped yard, and I love that although this is in a housing development, the designers resisted the urge to take the wood fence to the brick wall closing everything off.  I think it is much more interesting that they have 3 fence types. (who would have thought it would work so well?) But even better, their remains a view and an openness to the space and wild beyond in the back that gives this garden so much more health, beauty and vitality.
