Hi, I’m Philippa.

Growing up, living opposite the woods and fields, is where my love for nature started. Always happiest out on my bike, playing in the mud or making dens amongst the trees. And our home was never without an animal or two, or three! Mum made it clear the animals came above the kids in the pecking order. Now I’m all grown up with two daughters, two cats and a dog of my own, not much has changed!

I’ve always loved drawing, and studied art at school, before getting my BSc (Hons) degree in Media Technology. After graduating, I got a job in London working for The Discovery Channel and went on to become a TV Compliance Editor, working for a variety of other companies including Technicolor, Disney, BBC, and ITV. Alongside this, my love for gardening led me to attain a Diploma in Horticulture from the RHS.

When our children were just coming up to school age, my husband and I decided to move to the New Forest so our girls could grow up with the seaside on their doorstep, and the New Forest ponies roaming near by. Ironically, now they are teenagers they spend most of their time gaming! But my cocker spaniel Orla, and I are spoilt for choice for where to walk on any given day, and I will never tire of my beautiful surroundings. And I will never stop creating. It’s just who I am!

    HUMAN RESOURCES

    Molly keeps a close eye on us all, making sure things run smoothly. She is sweet and gentle, but ensures we maintain our high standards. Especially when it comes to the food order.
