Lucy is a maximalist gardener, with a passion for plants and, being artistic, a love of sculptures and crafts. She finds the minimalist gardens, seen at The Chelsea Flower Show, cold in atmosphere and touch. Gardens should be fun, relaxing, quirky and original spaces to reflect you and your family. She is keen on reclaimed elements and tries to use craftsmen to create original features rather than buying mass produced products. 

The garden is divided into compartments each with a different theme, ie Asian Border, Unusual bulb and rhizome garden, woodland garden. The children love exploring these different areas, but it is also used as a teaching resource for the students on her courses to see good design and plant combinations.
