The well-known yet enigmatic 17th Century landscape designer known as 'Capability' Brown was involved in over 200 garden projects, leaving a legacy described as typical English Landscape. The story of the development of his style as well as the controversies surrounding it are described, no doubt arousing much discussion - Was he a Visionary or a Vandal?

Resident in Herne Bay, a Victorian seaside town in Kent, I am an educator, having taught in schools, colleges and running a prison education department. For the last 10 years I have worked as a professional ITG qualified Tour Guide in South East England, with a particular interest in Landscape.
My enthusiasm for nature and history have led to an MA in Garden and Landscape history, which provides fascinating topics for general interest or in preparation for specific garden visits.
