My work: Green Island Gardens
Lives in Ardleigh, United Kingdom
Hi, I am Fiona and I have lived here at Green Island with my family since 1996. Over the last 29 years I have designed the 20acre gardens into a plantsman's paradise which has been open to the public since 2001. I am an ex international amateur golfer and won the English seniors title 2017 &2021. My husband and I have 6 children, an elderly chocolate lab and 4 cats. We enjoy meeting new people and hope you will enjoy our gardens as much as we do!
