Landscape Architect | Productive Gardener | Creative Collaborator | Country Life Maker

I am a landscape architect and urban designer by profession, and a multi-disciplinary creative collaborator by natural inclination.

Rooted in my flower, berry and kitchen gardens, orchards and forest surrounds, I have learnt to live with the land, the shifting season’s, and how to live ‘well’.

In this newest adventure, I have set myself the challenge of taking the best of the lessons learnt at Oak & Monkey Puzzle’s 5 acres, combined with my love for gardens, growing, harvesting, cooking and preserving, and distilling this in the design of beautifully productive and sustainably focussed gardens at our new 515 square metre Daylesford property, Little Cottage on a Hill.

The success of Oak and Monkey Puzzle leaves me even more passionately intent on creating an evolving hub in this next iteration at Little Cottage On A Hill.

Through my experience as a landscape architect and urban designer, and now as an established and respected member of a vibrant country community of creatives, artisans, craftspeople and country dwellers, I continue to create, share and build upon a joyful work in progress.

I share my inspiring story of tree change, garden design, and country life, through guest speaker events, writing, my workshop offerings, social media following, print and digital media.

I have been widely featured both locally and internationally, including Australian Woman’s Weekly, The Design Files, Country Style magazine, Homes to Love, Better Homes & Gardens (Channel 7), The Block (Channel 9), and most recently as key note speaker and masterclass host at the Ballarat Begonia Festival.
