Welcome to

Alex, a Dig co-founder, grew up in the English countryside, surrounded by beautiful gardens and keen gardeners.  All was taken for granted until she took on a large neglected garden in Ireland, at which point she realised she had inherited the family passion.

Alex gained a Distinction in her Post-Graduate Diploma in Garden Design, and also holds an RHS Level 2 Certificate in Horticulture.

Soon after training, Alex won ’Super Garden’ – a TV show for new garden designers in Ireland, and has since had show gardens at Ireland’s ‘Bloom’ and BBC ‘Gardeners’ World Live’.  After working for Mazzullo + Russell, a leading London design practice, Alex ran her own successful practice, before joining the founding team at Dig.

Gardens have always been a big part of Fabienne’s life, beginning as an appreciation for the outdoors inherited by her grandparents, to viewing them through an artist’s lens through studying Art History, to then re-training as a garden designer years later at KLC School of Design, specialising in planting design.

She would describe her style as a versatile, woodland aesthetic, with a design focus on plants that bring texture and various shades of calming colours such as greens, whites and purples.

Her favourite part of the design process is translating client’s ideas into tangible design solutions and planting schemes.

Serena graduated from Inchbald School of Design in 2012 and went on to teach part time as a studio tutor for two years. She worked for a number of years with celebrated designer Jo Thompson and was also part of Jo’s planting team at RHS Chelsea for 6 consecutive years.

In 2015, Serena’s own Chelsea Garden ‘The Trugmakers Garden’ won a prestigious gold medal. She has gone on to design many large and small gardens for private clients and property developers, is a garden guide for private tours around Bowood House Gardens and has more recently given talks on the ‘Fundamentals of Garden Design’.

When not in her studio she is probably walking her dog, travelling or at a music festival.

After 10 years problem-solving as a business consultant, Jenny decided to switch her problem-solving to people’s gardens. She trained in Horticulture at Capel Manor College, was an apprentice to the Head Gardener on the Foreign Secretary’s Chevening Estate, and completed her diploma in Garden Design with the National Design Academy. Jenny has since worked as a designer for RHS Chelsea gold winners, Belderbos.

Jenny loves designing gardens that create an extra ‘room’ for your house. Space is often such a premium and so she thinks it’s important to make your outdoor area work practically for your life (pets, kids, busy work, and so on), whilst still looking great.

Alongside her design role, Jenny is also Chief Operating Officer at Dig.
