Just like the plants in my borders or the birds in the trees, we all inherit characteristics from our parents, and I’d like to think that my daughter has inherited some of her creative ability from me.

I began my career thirty years ago from a hobby, building on the talents I had, studying and working hard to develop my knowledge and skill. At the age I was when I began my own business, now my daughter is developing her creative talents, in a different way to me, but with the same real passion for the natural world.

She gives new life to discarded objects and rethinks how we might use unwanted items. She recycles, upcycles and repurposes rusty old car parts, turns faded books into wallpaper and planters, makes unfashionable furniture into beautiful additions to a room, finds new uses to outdated fashion, and of course plants feature strongly.

Of course they do, it’s in the genes!
