Tours with Sandra McMahon
Sandra’s decades of extensive travel have not only greatly informed and influenced her work as a landscape designer but have also enabled her to ponder and distil the notion of beauty in the landscape. She joined ASA as a garden tour leader in 2018, combining her passion for landscape design and exploring this within other cultures around the world.
She is excited to share her very broad knowledge and appreciation of plants, combined with a deep understanding of the history of landscape design through the ages.
