I specialise in garden makeovers by carefully restoring gardens to their full potential through correct pruning techniques, soil improvement, plant division and new planting. I also advise on planting new beds and borders from drawing up plans to sourcing plants from local nurseries. I have a lifetime love of gardening, starting with my father's amazing garden in Wetherby, through the window boxes in my first London flat to the challenge of planting in the foothills of the French Alps.
I settled in North Yorkshire over a decade ago and fell in love with the range of wonderful gardens in the area from Harlow Carr and Newby Hall to the smaller gardens of York Gate and Littlethorpe Manor. I started working in private gardens around Ripon in 2010. In 2014 went to Askham Bryan College to study for the Royal Horticultural Society's Diploma in Horticulture.
I am now qualified at RHS Level 3 in practical horticulture, plant health and nutrition, propagation and garden planning, construction and planting.

Services
My first job is to work with you over an initial visit to build a client brief.
We can discuss together how you would like your garden to improve and ways of achieving this, considering existing plants, garden conditions and budget.
I prune shrubs and trees to maintain their natural habit and prolong their life, removing cluttered and crossing branches to open their centres, allowing the flow of air through the shrub to help prevent disease and to encourage new shoots and prolific flowering.
Pruning at the correct time is essential and it is important to know the different pruning groups to ensure that each shrub reaches peak performance.
