Meet your gardener

Below I've shared a little about the kind of gardener I am, to help you decide whether I’m the right fit for you and your garden.

How I care for gardens

My work is guided by three core values:

1. Expertise

Drawing on my RHS training, I apply an understanding of plant health and horticultural science to care for individual plants as well as the garden as a whole. This includes pruning shrubs at the correct time of year to minimise stress, protect flowering potential and encourage strong, healthy growth.

2. Sustainability

Minimising environmental impact is central to how I work. Where possible, I use battery-powered tools to reduce emissions, avoid toxic pesticides and herbicides, and choose peat-free composts and other sustainable soil conditioners.

3. Biodiversity

I believe gardeners have a responsibility to work in ways that support biodiversity and strengthen the local ecosystem. In practice, this means using thoughtful planting to provide flowers across the pollinating season, improving soil health through organic mulching, and creating or preserving small habitats that benefit birds, amphibians and invertebrates.

How I work with clients

If you find yourself agreeing with any of the following points, then I'm likely the right gardener for you:

Professionalism & Reliability

You want a gardener that is polite and ensures a tidy and presentable garden.

You want a gardener who is qualified, insured and DBS checked.

You want a gardener who is going to visit your garden when they say they are going to.

Transparency & Communication

You want a gardener who explains what they are doing and importantly why they are doing it.

You want a gardener who works with you suggesting improvements without dictating them to you.

You want a gardener who treats your garden like their own.

Technical & Ethical

You want a gardener that prunes your plants at the appropriate time of year, ensuring flowering, structure and long-term plant health.

You want a gardener to maintain your gardener with quieter, less-disruptive methods where possible to support a calmer garden environment.

You want a gardener that actively considers local wildlife in all work, with hedges, shrubs and habitats managed responsibly to protect nesting birds, pollinators and beneficial insects.
