Sally has a Diploma in Planting Design from the London College of Garden Design (LCGD), graduating with distinction, and was awarded the College Prize in her year. She also has the RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles and Practices of Horticulture.

Before pursuing a more creative path, Sally had a career in finance, leading single family offices for over 25 years. She previously lived and worked in Italy absorbing art, architecture and atmosphere, and these influences inspire many of her designs today.

Sally has always been a maker in her spare time and she loves experimenting with new techniques and materials.  She has a large collection of poetry books and she often finds a line of poetry can trigger a new creative avenue when she’s putting together a new planting design.
