Experience
She started her working life as an Environmental Consultant. This was ended by a move to France, where she worked as a garden designer, in a specialist plant nursery and as a gardening consultant, while improving her language skills. On moving back to the UK, Jane gained the position of Head Gardener at Honeybrook, an 85 acre garden near Wimborne. She designed, developed, improved and managed the formal gardens, woodlands, hedgerows, river banks, islands and water meadows at Honeybrook for 3 years. The highlight of that time was when the garden was accepted by the 'yellow book' open gardens scheme.

One of Jane's favorite projects at Honeybrook, was designing and planting a 'Butterfly Garden'. This contained all of the food plants of our native butterfly and moth larvae as well as a seasonal range of nectar rich flowers to feed the adults.
Jane also offered tours of the garden, and gave a series of wildflower and nature walks and talks for children and adults.

In Jane's spare time, she paints, and sold paintings in the Honeybrook gift shop. Now as a busy garden designer, most of her artistic outlet is through her designs. Many clients like to commission their Garden Design Plan in colour. This makes a very original and personal piece of art work to link the house and garden!
