'To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow' - audrey hepburn
Professional Horticulturalist in Suffolk
Heather Giles - Gardener, Designer and Consultant
After learning I could grow my own food and forage when I was young, I was hooked on gardening and figured I would make a career out of my passion. I embarked on a horticultural degree at Writtle college, specialising in folklore, history and ethnobotany. Starting my business first in East Sussex, I slowly moved my way north to settle in Suffolk where I am passionately helping people with their gardens in this lovely county. |
As a gardener - my passion is nature and I strive to garden organically with plant health as the focus. I believe that being outdoors in nature is profoundly beneficial to us all and by creating gardens in even the smallest alleyway can be rewarding in every possible way.
As a designer - My passion for design lies in gardens that are both useful and beautiful. Concentrating on designing and developing gardens, I provide clients with my knowledge and skills to help bring their ideas to life, and to create beautiful outdoor spaces. My aim is to design gardens that clients want, taking account of the surrounding space and the architecture of the house. I will be happy to suggest the best, unique style for your garden!
As a consultant - Having spent time working with people in their gardens, I found that there are plenty of people who love their garden, but either haven't the time, the energy or the knowledge. I became a consultant to help alleviate some of these issues and I now offer 1-1 teaching in people's own gardens to help them get the most out of their space and time.
