My career in Horticulture has spanned over a decade, working in a variety of roles. 4 years was spent at the historic gardens at Cricket St Thomas, Somerset where I worked my way up to the position of Head Gardener. I bring those skills now into domestic houses and gardens. I have complimented the hands on experience with formal qualifications including RHS Level 2 Principles of Horticulture, and a separate Diploma in Horticulture studied at the famous East Lambrook Manor, home of the late Margery Fish.
To break my outlook down to it's most simple form, I am pro wildlife, pro nature. I feel that a garden should be created and cared for with these things in mind, and we should not harm our natural word just so that we can have something that looks pretty. That might sound obvious, but all to often aesthetics are put first. Wild not formal Rich abundant planting Embracing imperfections Local nurseries Mulching borders.
Daisies in a lawn Turning the compost heap Nectar rich plants Remembering to enjoy it all.

Services
My professionaI garden maintenance service is aimed at clients who place a high value on their garden and want someone who knows what they are doing to care for it.
Whilst I can offer the more basic elements of garden maintenance, my skills and experience are often more value for money when a finer approach is desired.
Ideal for small to medium sized properties who require help or expertise with pruning and plant care.
Normally occur around 3 to 4 times per year where the owner takes full responsibility for the general upkeep of the garden, but need help and guidance with pruning of shrubs and climbers, or maybe extra help at key times.
