About Studio Simpson

Frances Simpson

After having worked for many years as a lawyer, in 2003 I started a new career in garden design. Originally designing gardens for family and friends, I then moved into commercial projects and domestic gardens.


I studied garden design at Kingston University and then in 2020 graduated from the London College of Garden Design with a Diploma in Planting Design. 


I have also expanded to projects in Mallorca where I experiment with my knowledge of Mediterranean plants. Current projects include gardens in central London, Sussex, Kent and Mallorca.

Her training brings a creative and artistic sensibility to her garden design work.


She recently graduated with distinction from the London College of Garden Design and was shortlisted for the External Judges' Prize.
