An award-winning garden designer is sowing the seeds for a new landscaping business dedicated to helping architects and developers.

Deborah Oakley of Acre Mill Road, Stacksteads, who won a Gold Medal at the Royal Horticultural Show at Tatton Park, is offering a service that combines landscape design through to the final build and planting.

Ms Oakley's new company is called Quercus Design and is being launched with a special celebration tomorrow.
