I am a Landscape Architect, garden designer and illustrator. I have been applying permaculture principles to designs since doing a permaculture course in Southern Spain in 1992. I have eco- retrofitted two homes and gardens I lived in, which were opened for ‘Open Eco-Homes’ and ‘Open Edible Garden’ events. I have worked for two local authorities, this involved both working with community groups and also offering landscape advice on planning applications. I have helped to carry out detailed site survey and analysis and produced illustrations and designs for land based education projects.
