Here you will find images of Mary’s Chelsea Flower Show garden - ‘Green is a Colour’ - and private gardens in London and Cornwall.

You will also find some of her plant combinations, which illustrate her philosophy that a successful planting scheme does not need to include an abundance of flowers to achieve colour in the garden. The phrase ‘Green is a Colour’ - originally coined by famous gardener Margery Fish and later adopted by Christopher Lloyd - is a sentiment that Mary echoes and demonstrates in her schemes.

Mary also writes on the subject of gardening and design and is a regular contributor to the RHS website and other gardening journals, and this section also includes links to some of her written work.
