Vicki is Garden Photographer at the Italian Garden of Great Ambrook in south Devon. She is responsible for documenting this historically and architecturally important garden as it undergoes sympathetic restoration. Vicki supplies leading photo libraries with images, including GAP, a specialist garden and plant library and Shotbywomen, and is a member of the Garden Media Guild. She can also do talks for gardening clubs and other interested groups.

​

Vicki is available for commissions and can run workshops tailored to your particular garden and customers. Previous clients include Trago Mills, Torbay Hospital, Italian Garden at Great Ambrook, The Garden House and Veterans Outdoors. 

 

Vicki is always looking out for new gardens to photograph. Eco-managed, gardens with big recycling use, wildlife gardens, family gardens, outdoor living spaces, community gardens, show gardens, arty and sculpture gardens etc are all in demand image-wise. Vicki always gives copies of images to garden owners for their own personal use too, so a visit from Vicki is a win for everyone. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have a garden, private or public, that Vicki can visit. 

​

Vicki sells her work through Etsy and at the Voyage Gallery in Teignmouth. She also exhibits at least once a year, usually taking part in Devon Open Studio's.
