Sue Clayton · Plantswoman & garden designerA FAMILIAR FACE. A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE.
Hello, I’m Sue.
A gardener at heart.
My love of gardening began with a little plot in my father’s vicarage garden. More than three decades of professional horticulture later, that joy in helping things grow has never left me.
Now based in Tiverton, I bring together a love of plants, a practical eye for design and a belief that a garden should feel like yours. My husband Matthew helps bring our designs to life through surveys, 2D and 3D drawings, with computer-aided visualisations available to help you picture your future garden.
I take an organic approach, with space for wildlife at the heart of what I do.
