Sarah believes in plant-driven design. She is developing a visual vocabulary using plants; their shapes, textures, colors and patterns to compose her designs. She will discuss her own sources of design inspiration; providing insights into how we can look more closely at plants and the environments in which they grow. Through giving real examples, she will lift the lid on her working processes, discussing her gold medal winning designs for her Chelsea Flower Show Gardens, her 2012 Olympic plantings for the Queen Elizabeth Park, London, as well as garden designs within healthcare environments and experiments within her own garden in Abergavenny, Wales.
