Garden Design and Planting Design
by Catherine Payne

I am based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire and cover the Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire areas.

I graduated from the University of Exeter in 1997 with a 2:1 Degree in History and Archaeology. Following a career in the City, I decided to re-train in Horticulture and Garden Design.

I have a Level 3 Diploma in Garden Design from Capel Manor College, London, along with a Level 3 RHS Diploma in Horticulture from Shuttleworth College in Bedfordshire.

I have 11 years experience working in Horticulture and Design and have designed a wide variety of gardens in this time.

I am a professional, creative garden designer who takes pride in creating interesting and practical spaces whether large or small, from cosy courtyards spaces to large country gardens.

Every garden and client is unique so I listen carefully to your brief, working closely with you throughout the process to ensure that you are totally happy with the end result. I have long standing relationships with landscape contractors, lighting experts, irrigation specialists and specialist nurseries ensuring a smooth delivery of your new garden.
