PROFILE
From a background in languages and education, Liz trained at the internationally renowned Inchbald School of Design in London, where she was awarded a distinction in Garden Design and the annual prize for her use of plants in design.
She subsequently worked in a London design practice on projects ranging from small city to large country gardens then, from a desire to combine garden design with her experience as an educator, Liz returned to the Inchbald School of Design as Senior Tutor. During this time she also collaborated closely with managing Director, Andrew Duff, on a variety of additional projects, talks and workshops.
In 2022, Liz returned to her Yorkshire roots to help establish the Yorkshire School of Garden Design, then based at the stunning Harewood House, where she was appointed Principal Tutor for the flagship Diploma in Garden Design.
CURRENT FOCUS
Liz is now dedicating time to her freelance garden design and consultation business, and concentrating on bringing together her varied experience and interests to curate a distinctive range of inspirational workshops, study visits, events and teaching. Many involve working collaboratively with creative colleagues in the UK and internationally, and venture beyond the boundaries of garden design.
My interests and stimuli are diverse and the profession of Garden Design expansive. To reflect this outlook I am curating a range of interdisciplinary, focused experiences.
Each FOCUS enables hugely exciting collaborations with talented colleagues to offer you a broad, enriching and inspiring program of opportunities.
