A little bit about Hilary 

I love to solve puzzles. Which is why I love projects where I have landscape or garden problems to solve. I see it as a great opportunity to find a truly creative solution. 

From the ground up 

I started out as an apprentice gardener over 40 years ago, and quickly developed a passion for plants and planting. 

After a number of years running my own landscape construction and maintenance company, I wanted to learn more. So, I completed a Degree in Landscape Design, and then a Postgraduate Diploma in Landscape Architecture. 

This led to me studying an Advanced Diploma in Environmental Project Management and becoming a Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute (CMLI) in 1994. 

My Story 

I have worked in the landscape sector for 35 + years, including 25 + years as a chartered landscape architect. 

Here are just a few of the diverse projects I have worked on:  

• Railway station and lineside improvements.  
• Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIAs) for large and small housing projects and solar farms. 
• Master plans for projects ranging from 2 high-end new build houses, to a 300 ha area with 1500 houses.  
• Detailed hard materials and planting designs to accompany planning applications and to discharge planning conditions. 

My academic background: I have a landscape design honours degree; a postgraduate diploma in landscape architecture, and further study and experience to gain membership of the Landscape Institute.
