Owner Joan Blasco began his professional life as a photographer in the city of Barcelona, Spain.  After moving to London, he discovered a passion for gardening and decided to pursue a career in the industry.

After developing his practical knowledge working for a number of companies that specialised in landscaping, Blasco developed a growing interest in horticulture and garden design.  As a result he enrolled onto the Garden Design course at Capel Manor College based in Regent’s Park, completing his studies in 2018.

Having worked in various roles within the industry for over 10 years, Blasco brings a fresh approach to garden design incorporating new materials and processes in his designs. For this young professional, his experience as a photographer and his gardening training, is a great asset when designing bringing a unique aesthetic to the gardens he designs.
