The Services
Creating and nurturing gardens using organic and regenerative methods.
1. Sustainable Design
Creating beautiful, functional, abundant gardens.
Inspired by permaculture, my approach to garden and planting design builds on the bones of the existing garden, valuing and retaining features that work, whilst improving function and appearance. I believe that good design should be accessible, collaborative and dynamic.
Garden Designs:
Working closely with you, I will draw up a layout plan for your garden, along with a materials palette and 3D visuals. Together these will enable yourself or a skilled landscaper to make improvements to your garden’s structure and function.
Further information on the design process available on request.
Planting Plans:
Planting palettes are developed that ensure structure, form and seasonal interest, and are guided by the mantra, ‘Right Plant, Right Place’.
2. Organic Gardening
Supporting you to tend your garden with horticultural knowledge and skill.
- Composting & soil care
- Planting, weeding & plant care
- Pruning & training of trees and climbers
- Growing and caring for edible plants
- Habitat creation
I am fully qualified in both horticulture and design and can tend your garden with a long term view on the health and aesthetics of planting.
I work sensitively and gently with gardens, building soil, rejuvenating overgrown and tired plants and curating new plantings to enhance those that exist.
Inspiration is taken from natural landscapes and plants are carefully chosen to create diverse, resilient communities that bring a sense of place.
Ethos of Regeneration
Sustainable & regenerative practices include:
Working with hand and battery powered tools.
Nurturing healthy gardens without peat, pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilisers.
Boosting biodiversity with a mix of plant species, including native, to support a wide range of beings.
Building climate resilience through planting that suits the setting and requires little irrigation.
Supporting soil life, creating compost and embracing death and decay.
Designing for joy by creating beautiful, seasonal and structural planting schemes.
Planning for abundance – incorporating edible plants wherever possible!
