Her love of horticulture and the natural world and her instinctive design talent has produced an impressive legacy of gardens and made her one of the most successful designers at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. As a keen communicator she is exceptionally generous with her knowledge and experience of the industry and the enjoyment she brings to supporting young designers is evident for all to see. Sarah is a Fellow and long time member of the SGD and supporter of the Society's initiatives and values, in particular her advocacy of sustainable garden design.
