Matt gained a huge amount of experience by doing an intense 1 year Post Graduate Diploma in garden design with the reputable 'Garden Design School', culminating in the highest award of a 'distinction' for his final project - a full set of design drawings for a 2 acre family garden. He has since gone on to design many gardens in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire and has project managed a number of garden builds with significant planting. (See portfolio). With a growing portfolio of residential and commercial work, he has built up a strong client base around his home town of Berkhamsted, and uses a robust network of landscape contractors and trade plant nurseries to work on projects. Projects range from small landscaping and planting projects where clients have budgets of about £10,000 through to full garden renovations and re-builds where budgets run into many hundreds of thousands.
Originally with a degree in biology/botany (BSc. Hons - Bristol University), Matt worked successfully in a retail operations career as a senior manager, building and running large warehouses for some of the UK's top retailers, but was always keen to get back to design and using his green fingers!
