The deeply personal design, inspired by his memories of growing up on Exmoor and of his journey
from teenage athlete to gardener and designer, is both a recreation and an evolution, with wild looking, stunted oak trees (Quercus pubescens) and rough - hewn sandstone (from a quarry in the Forest of Dean) that gradually metamorphose into a smooth - cut sunken terrace and pool edged by fully - formed, beautifully composed planting.
As a former Division 1 collegiate
athlete I have expertise in preparing
teenage student
athletes in making the transition
from high school / league sports to the highly competitive arena of collegiate athletics.»
