Knowing where her passion lay she went on to study Landscape Architecture at Hammersmith Polytechnic (now a part of Greenwich University) and graduated in 1980. Putting aside a corporate career Sarah settled for self employment, working with other professionals in her spare time for the experience and knowledge.

Although working in Devon for many years Sarah moved to Hampshire in 1990 and has continued to base herself there ever since. Sarah spent some 8 years as design Director at Hillier Landscapes, of which she is still a share holder, but has now returned to freelance work in order to concentrate on what she likes best…personal attention to her schemes and a hands on artisan approach.

Sarah has been involved in the design and construction of show gardens since 1990. Currently she holds 8 RHS Gold Medals, Best in Show at Hampton Court and Chelsea, two George Cooke Medals for Design Innovation plus a scattering of Civic and other Design awards.
