A Light Touch
My personal environmental policy is to tread lightly, and keep thinking of what more we can do…

To buy materials locally, and with as low mileage as is possible, re-use, recycle and avoid over specifying any design, buy lasting quality, and design everything to last for lifetimes. Timeless, not fashion driven.
Avoid plastic wrapping and un-recyclable pots, harsh chemicals and fertilisers, I love compost! Think always of nature’s way first. Nature is beauty. I try to make every garden a haven for all life, bugs, birds, hedgehogs and butterflies, everyone!
