About Dan
My childhood in Derbyshire was spent outdoors, climbing trees, swimming in lakes, and exploring the countryside.
Today, I run my own business, designing gardens in my home studio in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. I work with clients from London, Essex, Buckinghamshire and beyond.
Each project is a collaboration — drawing on my clients’ tastes, the needs of the site, and the rhythms of the natural world.
