About Me
I’m a former Royal Marine Commando with an RHS Level 3 qualification and over eight years’ experience working in high-end private and commercial gardens across Central London. During this time, I worked under two nationally recognised Top 50 garden designers, contributing to projects delivered to the highest industry standards. Early in my career, I was a regional finalist for Young Horticulturist of the Year, which helped shape my professional approach and reinforced the importance of strong plant knowledge, consistency, and attention to detail.
I have a genuine passion for the outdoors and nature, and I take pride in delivering consistently high-quality work with care, reliability, and professionalism at the core of everything I do.
After relocating to Poole, I founded Marine Green Horticulture to bring the same level of expertise and standards to gardens across the local area. I offer garden maintenance and design, alongside specialist indoor planting and plant maintenance, helping clients create spaces that are both attractive and sustainable, indoors and out.
My approach is practical and considered, with a strong focus on plant health, seasonal care, and long-term results. Having worked in high-end environments, I understand the importance of discretion, consistency, and respecting each client’s home and garden.
At its core, Marine Green Horticulture is about turning up when I say I will, doing the job properly, and leaving every space better than I found it.
