Catherine’s designs often include a delicate combination of strong architectural features and soft naturalistic style planting to achieve a unique design tailored to the space, architecture and client.
Catherine says:
“RHS Chelsea Flower Show will always be one of the highlights in any garden designer’s career, it’s a global stage for the creative horticultural world and can offer an experience like no other. RHS Chelsea is the gardening Oscars and a vital part of the horticultural calendar. It is a thought leader and a game changer, both for a designer’s career and for the industry as a whole. It offers creative freedom that is rare in every day commissions, and the cohort of professionals and experts involved that you can be exposed to can accelerate your career and creative expression.
“On top of this, the friendships made on the grounds of SW3 last a lifetime and it’s always a joy to return and rekindle that camaraderie. I am thrilled to be back as a designer for Boodles, after last year’s successful collaboration celebrating the 200th anniversary of The National Gallery.”
