I’m a big advocate for right plant, right place. When you give plants the correct growing conditions they flourish and put on a beautiful show with minimal interference.
My aim is to promote gardening practices that respect and enhance the natural world and the creatures living in it. I believe in working with nature, not against it. This means:
Join me in creating beautiful, sustainable gardens that bring joy and benefit wildlife.
I offer many gardening services, mostly focusing on flower beds and borders.
Removing unwanted vegetation to ensure your chosen plants have the available space, water and nutrients to thrive.
Removing spent flowers to tidy up the plant's appearance and in some cases promote more flowers.
Encourages a nice rounded shape and healthy growth with lots of air flow. This helps to prevent or reduce diseases.
Plant newly purchased plants or remove plants that are no longer wanted.
Plant bulbs such as daffodils, snow drops or tulips.
Clip the lawn edge to stop grass growing into your flower beds and leaves a nice clean edge on your grass.
Removal of dead plant material such as leaves and dead foliage to leave your border clear ready for new growth.
Spreading a layer of mulch material (e.g compost, wood-chip) to suppress weeds, retain moisture and add nutrients to your border.
Watering potted plants during prolonged warm periods, with little rainfall.
Clipping to shape small topiary shrubs and trees.
Cleaning compost and dirt from old pots or disinfecting plastic pots and trays used for seedlings.
Tool cleaning, sharpening, disinfecting and oiling to prolong the tool's life.
Testing soil pH and / or texture can help you determine what plans would best suit your garden beds.
Choosing plants for your garden can be overwhelming due to all the factors that need to be considered (e.g garden aspect, soil, space available). I can advise on plants that would do well in your garden.
I’ve been growing a range of annual flowers and vegetables for several years now. I can help you grow and care for your own too.
