An experienced landscape architect/garden designer with local plant knowledge

Patricia Shears BA (Hons), Dip LA, MLI is a landscape architect and garden designer who has been creating gardens and landscapes for over twenty years. She is currently based on the Dordogne/Lot border in France and in Suffolk, England.

“My aim is to create beautiful gardens to complement the house and its setting in the local landscape – gardens that are sustainable, ecologically sensitive and easy to maintain.

Extensive plant knowledge and a respect for biodiversity help me to tailor designs and advice so that your garden dreams are achievable in the local climate and landscape. Wildflower meadows, ‘new wave’ perennial gardens, Mediterranean-style gravel gardens, restrained French simplicity or English floral exuberance – all can be designed and created to suit your personality and your purse.”
