WITH A DEGREE IN PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT CREDENTIALS FROM NYU, SADYA CAME TO FORMAL TRAINING IN GARDEN DESIGN AT THE ENGLISH GARDENING SCHOOL IN LONDON. SHE USES COLOUR AND FORM, LIGHT AND TEXTURE, FRAGRANCE AND SOUND TO CREATE DEEPLY PERSONAL SPACES. HER INSPIRATION COMES FROM THE CLEAN LINES OF ITALIAN RENAISSANCE GARDENS, THE RHYTHMS OF A PERSIAN ‘BAGH’ AND THE TIMELESSNESS OF JAPANESE GARDENING TECHNIQUES.
GARDENS, SADYA BELIEVES, ARE AN ODE TO JOY.
