As a garden designer, I have found it essential to travel and gain as much exposure and experiences as possible to timeless beautiful gardens. Below are a list of gardens I have both studied and visited. I have a photo library which include these gardens. For inspiration, I refer to this photo library when I do any design. In addition to my visual learning, I regularly read books and study the lives of well established designers, writers, gardeners, and artists. Below you will also see a list of people I would consider my role models and mentors.
