Janie considers gardens as living sculptures involving a complicated relationship between space and form, the designing of which she believes to be a co-creation between the wishes of the client, the skills of the designer and the ambience of the site. In addition to her design qualifications, she brings to the process of designing her original training as a research scientist, 8 years experience as a carpenter, the interpersonal skills developed as a trainee psychotherapist and her skills as a botanical artist. She has also lectured in Landscape and Garden Design at Capel Manor College.

greenfuse offers a full design service  including consultation, site survey and analysis, detailed layout plans, planting plans, construction drawings and project monitoring. Additional coloured plans and axonometric drawings can also be provided as supplements to the layout plan.

Contemporary design both formal and informal from the small courtyard and front garden to larger sites. Janie enjoys using plants to soften the geometry of the design as well as using them as geometric supplements to it.
