Taking on a new garden or taming your existing one can be daunting.
If you don't know how to care for the plants you have, are unsure which are worth rescuing, a horticultural assessment will give you the clarity you need to take your garden forwards.
A garden design consultation can be a useful way to help you decide on and budget for improvements.

Thorough, Thoughtful and Careful Planting
Professional Planting Design involves skill, care and consideration. A key part of the process is choosing plants which are suited to the conditions in your garden, so that they stand the best chance of thriving. Understanding the eventual size of plants, how textures and colours will combine, and how plants look at different times of the year, are all crucial.
I bring extensive experience of this to you.
My planting service includes preparing the soil, sourcing the plants (from reputable wholesale and specialist nurseries) and planting them in place.
Should your plant preferences not suit the conditions in your garden, I can advise either on alternative plants or on whether it is possible to create the right conditions to allow the plants you love to thrive on your patch.
Perhaps you have experienced the frustration and disappointment that many people face in planting their garden - plants don't always thrive in the way that you would hope?
Occasional plant losses are naturally to be expected, but many can be avoided with the correct horticultural knowledge and practices.
As part of my service to you I will share my gardening know-how, to help you grow and enjoy your garden
Maybe you are a seasoned gardener but need a fresh pair of eyes to think creatively about how to improve your established garden.
I always listen carefully to my clients' knowledge - it is your garden, and I consider it a privilege to work within it on your behalf. I am keen to learn from your experiences and to collaborate with you.
Correct care at the time of planting and in the weeks and months thereafter is crucial to the success of your garden and the longevity of the plants you are investing in. I aim to protect that investment as far as possible.
To give your garden the best possible start, I source healthy plants from good nurseries and suppliers. I use high quality horticultural preparations such as nutrient supplements and soil improvers.
I can give advice on watering and feeding so that you can care for your new plants in their infancy.
