A garden should be really special . . .
an oasis of calm on summer evenings after the day’s work is done
spectacular colours beset by spiders’ webs in the autumn morning mists
sculptural shapes accented by the frost on wintry afternoons
fresh new growth in the spring with the promise of warmer days ahead . . .

THE DESIGNER
Mary Ann qualified at the Oxford College of Garden Design in 1996. During the course her work was exhibited at both Chelsea and Hampton Court. In 1997 she took the RHS General Examination in Horticulture, passing with credit. In the same year she won a Gold Medal for a courtyard show garden at the Thames Valley Flower Show with friend and colleague, Susan Chapman. In that year she was also awarded a silver salver as the Living Heritage Garden Designer of the Year. In 2002 she built her second show garden at the Blenheim Palace Flower Show, once again collaborating with Susan Chapman, for which she won a Silver Medal. She teaches Garden Design at the Chiltern Garden School which she runs with a colleague, and is also a tutor for the Institute of Garden Design. She also opens her garden to the public from time to time and has recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Landscape Architecture at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design.
Coming from a graphic design background, she believes that the garden should empathise with the house and its surroundings and become a truly special place. She is interested in both contemporary and traditional styles and is quite happy to tackle any size of garden. She is based in south Oxfordshire near the Berkshire border, and works within a 25 mile radius of her home.
