ABOUT LU
Beautiful Spaces that Work with Nature
With 25 years of hands-on experience in premium horticulture and garden design, I help clients create inviting, resilient outdoor spaces that support local wildlife and nurture the human spirit.
My journey began with a prestigious apprenticeship at the Duke of Westminster’s London Estate in Belgravia, followed by years cultivating deep plant knowledge as a craft gardener in Wellington, New Zealand, the Botanical Gardens in the Midlands, and across the magnificent landscapes of Ireland. Today, I bring this rich global expertise home to the coastal and downland landscapes of Brighton, Hove, and the wider Sussex area.
WHY CHOOSE LU TO HELP CREATE YOUR GARDEN?
A beautiful garden is more than a collection of plants—it is a living, breathing sensory ecosystem meant to be felt and experienced.
In addition to being an RHS-trained horticulturalist with professional diplomas in Plants & Garden Design, I hold a BA (Hons) Degree in Visual Arts & Dance, and I am a certified yoga teacher and somatic movement facilitator.
This background fundamentally shapes how I approach both landscape design and specialist garden rejuvenation. I look at how your body interacts with the landscape—how you move through paths, where your eyes rest, and how a space feels—while choosing resilient, pollinator-friendly plants that naturally thrive and regenerate the local ecosystem.
