HI, I’M ALEXA

I’m a planting designer, based in Walthamstow, London and work with landscape architects, architects and garden designers throughout the UK.

I also offer planting design and garden design consultations to home owners.

I’m consultant planting designer at Dutch Landscape Architects and collaborate with garden design studios such as McWilliam Studio and Miria Harris Design.

In 2023, I won a silver medal at RHS Chelsea Flower Show with The Sadler’s Wells East Garden.

I have a diploma in planting design with distinction from London College of Garden Design and trained in garden design at Capel Manor College, Regent’s Park.
