You may not want to have your whole garden designed, but may have beds and borders which need revitalizing. The Garden centres are full of interesting plants, but how do you know that the plant you like the look of will work in your soil conditions? Will it tolerate the shade under your tree, how big will it grow and does the colour work with the plants around it? If you want to create a new border or revitalize an old one but don't know where to start, or want to make sure you don't waste money on buying lots of plants that don't work in your garden, then why not let me help you.
I am a keen believer in getting things right - down to the last detail, so I work to a 7 stage design process which I can project monitor through to implementation to ensure that all work is completed by the landscaper right first time. I will work with them and you to make the whole process enjoyable, easy to understand and stress-free. In the first instance, I will visit you at the site, and find out what you want from your garden, now and in the future. We will discuss, for examplem how you want to use the garden, who will use it, what style you prefer, what colours you like, how much time you have to maintain it.

Greenhouses are mainly used to propagate plants, start young plants off earlier and grow warmer climate plants like tomatoes and other ornamentals. The plants in your greenhouse need as much natural light as possible and so the greenhouse should be in an open position, away from any trees or other shade giving elements.

It might have been a grey day today but it makes a walk in the woods even more atmospheric and there are so many interesting finds from colourful berries and flowers to leaf shapes and colours.
Plant of the week for pollinators is Cyclamen Hederifolium. This is the one with ivy-like pointed leaves and flowers in Oct/Nov as opposed to Cyclamen Coum which flowers in late winter. It is a great little plant for under deciduous shrubs to add colour at ground level after the shrubs have lost.
Plant of the week for pollinators is Fatsia japonica. This plant is known mostly for it's large tropical-lookin g foliage but it also has flowers in autumn that are great for pollinators. It is happy in sun or shade and any soil type but it is a large plant so make sure it has plenty of space. If you.
Plant of the week for pollinators is the Corn Marigold. This is the result of an annual cornfield mix I sowed two years ago. The seeds dropped and they now pop up between shrubs where I leave them to add a splash of summer and autumn colour as well as providing late season food for pollinators.
