I have been designing and making gardens as Earthworks Garden Design since 2003 and I offer bespoke, client focussed garden design throughout Yorkshire from my base in Leeds. The above film will give you a good insight into how I can help you create a garden you truly love. As part of my professional qualifications I worked as a gardener at the Royal Horticultural Society's Harlow Carr Gardens in Harrogate.
After achieving my qualifications, and after twelve years of designing gardens professionally, I was invited by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) to deliver garden design courses. For five years, until 2020, I wrote and delivered two highly popular courses on behalf of the RHS: An Introduction to Garden Design; and Forging Ahead with Garden Design.

Services
I offer a flexible set of services including garden design consultancy, horticultural consultancy, Concept Plans, Detailed Master Plans, and Planting Plans. I can prepare Tender Documents using the same process as an architect uses in order to obtain competitive prices for garden making. I will also work with you to design an area of your garden, such as a border, and will supply plants.

Cheri is really easy to work with and a true professional. She helped with some great creative solutions for our garden design and advised on placement and plant species. She took our needs and the garden setting into consideration and we are now embarking on using her design to slowly create our garden. We would highly recommend Cheri!

I have recently been on the Introduction to Garden Design Course run by Cheri at Harlow Carr near Harrogate. I feel as though I have learnt so much in 6 sessions! Cheri is a very warm, knowledgeable tutor who made our sessions fun and interesting.
The group was very friendly and Cheri helped us to get to know each other at the beginning of the course so that we felt like friends by the end of it. There were opportunities to share ideas and Cheri gave us 1 to 1 time on our own designs which was very valuable. Her advice was always creative and incisive.
I would recommend this course to anyone

I recently completed the Introduction to Garden Design course at RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate. Cheri is an excellent garden designer and tutor, really knows her stuff and has a very creative and engaging approach to teaching. I enjoyed the course and learnt a huge amount from it. It changed my thinking about what is possible in my garden and inspired me. I came away with a garden design that I feel confident to implement. Definitely recommended!

Earlier this year I attended the Introduction to Garden Design course at RHS Harlow Carr. The course taught by Cheri, covered the different stages of garden design and the relevance and importance of each stage to achieve the required result.
Cheri's inclusive and motivating approach created lots of opportunity to work together and a relaxed atmosphere in which to learn and practise as we progressed.
Her experience in garden design is both extensive and refreshing and in the individual sessions, she helped each of us to create a design we could confidently develop and implement.
