Advice and consultancy

My advice is tailored specifically to you and your garden, with its particular climate, soil, plants and views. I will provide a fresh pair of eyes, an unbiased opinion and advice based on a lifetime of professional gardening and managing garden projects. The aim is to save you time, money, and frustration.

Our gardens are our own little refuges of nature and my eye is trained to link nature to living spaces no matter how small the space.  Creating usable spaces that work for you, your family and your business as well as being fundamental for bio-diversity and beauty is not hard to achieve once you have the knowledge. 

I offer consultation and advice session set within your space where we discuss how to make your space work for you.


Together we can discuss:
  • How to make maintenance for your garden easier
  • Why your plants aren't thriving
  • Soil care and management
  • Garden and Land management
  • Wildflower meadows
  • Beds and borders
  • Kitchen gardens
  • Management of staff
  • Re-wilding
  • Woodland and Coppice
  • Ponds
  • Organic growing
  • Greenhouse, hot house and cold frames



Advice sessions - no frills questions and answers.

Picture
Meeting you in your garden, we will walk through your space and you can ask all and any questions about whats' frustrating you, what's working for you and not working. What you want to achieve and how you can implement that within your means (money, time and ability). I will give you easy to follow advice, tips, tricks, best places to visit for inspiration and plant ideas to help you get the confidence to have your garden exactly how you want it to be. 

Zoom sessions can also be arranged for those further afield.

Sessions last 1-2 hours from £100.  



Consultancy with report

On my visit, I will assess your garden and we will talk about what you want to achieve. We will walk through your space and address any immediate issues or concerns and how to rectify them. Discussing how you use and work within your garden helps me to understand the best practices for you and how we can get your garden or space looking it's best, any and all questions relating to your space are welcome! I will then take pictures of your space along with a soil sample that I can use to determine your soil quality. 
Once back at the office, I will compile a report outlining everything we have discussed. It will have ideas and suggestions as to what you can do and implement to make your vision come to life, along with an action plan of how to go about it. If you have questions on plant design and hard landscaping the report will include suggestions and ideas of what you can realistically achieve. There will be no expectation of further work following the consultation but, you may wish to consider my other services of design, horticulture and further advice sessions.

Sessions can last between 1-3 hours (depending on size of land) and start from £250.
