About
Horticultural Consultant committed to:
Enrichment of the built environment through design and installation of sustainable and beautiful green space.
I offer a landscaping design service for commercial clients incorporating green infrastructure and other designed features such as furniture and lighting.
My aims are to provide opportunities for biodiversity within urban areas, utilising rain water within my designs and encouraging people to engage with nature within the city.
I have also undertaken research within the laboratory on behalf of B&Q PLC in particular, analysis of organic content and detection of peat forming vegetation within growing-media.
I am writing a proposal for the next stage of research with the assistance of The University of Nottingham.
My goal is to raise the profile of Horticulture within other professions. -

Plants provide significant physical and psychological benefits to people.
Evidence based research has demonstrated the positive effects of Biophillic design.
Urban green infrastructure is vital in the provision of green corridors for wildlife and biodiversity, climate change mitigation and reduction of rainwater run-off within the built environment.
Hosta Consulting specialises in the provision of intelligent creative design of green space for corporate clients in order to enhance human-nature interaction during work or leisure.
The effective use of green walls, roofs, hoardings and trees along with sustainable low maintenance planting schemes increases connectivity of green space within the urban environment whilst improving corporate responsibility and work force and client satisfaction. -
