Antonia grew up in London, but was born in Rome and comes from a family made up of several nationalities. This international background has informed her design journey over the years. Antonia has a special interest in the well-being potential of gardens and gardening and her passion for history led to a Masters in Garden and Landscape History at the Institute of Historical Research at University College London. She has recently compiled a research paper on the contested history of London’s green spaces.

“The joy that gardens can give us is the inspiration behind the name ‘Felicity’ Garden Design. Gardens possess the magic to transport and lift us as human beings. A garden that is designed with this in mind will provide its owner with a space to retreat to when in need of peace, beauty and felicity.”
