LAURENCE (LOLA) COONE BSC (HONS), DIP PSGD GARDEN DESIGNER
I came into gardening from a very early age, with parents and grandparents showing me the way.
After moving to London, I realised that I had 2 loves: designing and gardening. What appealled to me with these was the discourse between the client and I, getting to know them and understand their needs and also their ideals.
I studied garden design at the Pickard School of Garden design located in the Garden Museum.
I have a love for sharing seeds from my garden with friends and explaining how nature works ( always busy inventing new propagation experiments...) and I love making cuttings (I own a Begonia coccinea from a cutting from my great grand mother from the South of France, the begonia is now 2 meters high and cuttings have now been passed on to my dearest friends)
Gardening is a passion which I love to share, it makes me a happier person and the happiness seem to spread as fast as virginia creepers..
My favourite tree is the Chimonanthus praecox ‘Luteus’ (Wintersweet) .
