    • About us

    Plantswoman and tradeswoman come together to produce balanced, workable solutions for your URBANcottage.

    Clare Davies

    Clare Davies is a multi skilled tradeswoman. Primarily a joiner then bricklayer with a bit of plastering and plumbing, however increasingly disenchanted with the wasteful modern building industry she has gone back to her roots and what makes her tick which is organic permaculture. She is city and guilds trained in her building skills and Patrick Whitefield trained in her permaculture design skills.

    Clare is an instinctual designer who can vision a space quite rapidly, (which can be alarming!) her particular interests are natural buildings, and eating her way round a garden.

    Nichola Musgrove

    Nichola Musgrove, is a recently trained horticulturalist, she has knowledge of what plants can work where and with what. She has a particular love of pests and diseases which means that not only does she know what is up with a plant but how to cure it. She has recently completed the National Horticulture Award at Brackenhurst College. She was taught permaculture design by Patrick Whitefield.

    Nichola has a wealth of experience in the design world as a web designer. Web design is a great asset in garden design as it is about building up an integrated multi faceted, multi layered space in 2D; now she has added a 3rd dimension!
