Having lived in Burgundy for decades, they each bring to the team extensive local knowledge, a wide network of artisans and tradespeople as well as their own complementary professional experience.

After having lovingly restored a prestigious property in Kent, featured in Home & Garden, she co-founded a French landscaping company in 2000. Elaine is also an experienced horticulturalist, specialising in the therapeutic properties of plants and as such she was invited to create Le Carré des Simples for the Intenational Garden Festival of Chaumont sur Loire in France in 2010. She continues to work to this day as a manager and design consultant.
