Gardening
The needs of a garden are constantly changing and evolving. The sensitive climate and environment are always providing fresh challenges and opportunities, as we strive for a greener future. Our social, physical and emotional well-being is becoming increasingly important. My work in gardens aims to address these factors and bring gardens up-to-date to suit our dynamic, contemporary lifestyles.
I offer year-round gardening help on a regular basis. I have the required knowledge and experience to ensure tasks are done thoroughly, at the right time and to a professional standard. Whether you feel your garden is too much to handle, you don’t have enough time, or you’re keen but struggling for ideas and inspiration, I can help you move in the right direction. Listening to your needs and helping you get the most from your garden is my number one priority.
Planting
Gardens come alive through the planting. Plants offer structure, texture, colour, year round interest and can bring real joy to any garden. I understand that all plants require certain qualities of light, exposure, soil type and care, which are paramount to their survival and performance. I offer advice, supply and planting for new beds and can help regenerate and transform tired, outdated borders. I have a flair for both bold and naturalistic planting combinations, ensuring all plants integrate sensitively with their surroundings and provide interest for you all year round.

Consultancy
If you have your own ideas but are in need of direction, are unsure how to address certain issues, or are not confident in performing specific tasks, I can provide advice and guidance as a one-off 'walk and talk', or on a regular/seasonal basis. Maintenance plans, written guidelines and planting schedules can be supplied upon request.
