Chris has been designing gardens for over 15 years. His career started out gardening in a rainy Scotland and a sunny South of France. He joined a leading garden design and build contractor in 1995 working on both domestic and commercial projects. In 1998, after studying at Merrist Wood College, he joined Fiona Lawrenson designing prestigious private gardens and show gardens worldwide. Since setting up his own studio in 2004, his design work has taken him across the UK, Europe and the Middle East. His hands-on knowledge of garden construction, a vast knowledge of plants, an obsessive interest in architecture and design, and a simple passion for gardening, make his gardens practical, inspirational, and unique.
