Greenspace

“Greenspace is undeveloped land, not necessarily provided for formal recreation or public amenity, but which makes a positive visual and environmental contribution to the town (or village)”

Nature has its own ‘designer’ – natural selection. But this process is slow, and left to its own devices an area could become inaccessible and unappealing to people. I want to help people and nature re-unite – in our lifetime!  

By using the principles of garden design alongside principles of ecology we can create beautiful spaces which are both enticing for people whilst encouraging and hastening natural processes and biodiversity. For example, making paths and creating a wetland are very easy ways to make a big difference.
