Sally Marlow
Sally’s career in Horticulture and Landscape Design started with an apprenticeship in Horticulture with a Local Authority in Yorkshire, which covered all aspects of horticulture and provided a broad practical base. She later went on to work as a Horticultural Instructor for the National Trust and as a Horticultural Advisor for one of the London Boroughs.
A move into garden design seemed natural following a course in Landscape Construction, and experience was gained working with Landscape Architects enhancing public parks and open spaces, receiving in-house training with a national Garden Design company and also completing a garden drawing course at the Inchbald School of Design in London.
She later went on to complete the Certificate in Landscape Architecture at Greenwich University followed by the Post Graduate Diploma in Landscape Architecture (Dip. L.A.) in Birmingham.
Sally is also a Registered member of the Society of Garden Designers and a Member of the Institute of Horticulture.
