Bespoke Scale Plans
To ensure the best possible start for your garden, plants can be sourced and planted by me as required. I focus on sourcing high-quality, healthy specimens and using professional planting techniques to ensure your new borders are built to last.
Sourcing and Expert Planting
My planting plans are drawn to scale, showing exact positions and spacing. I can provide sketches to help you see the vision and detailed plant lists specifying quantities and sizes.
Drawing on my RHS and design training, and experience gardening in heritage sites in and around Bromley, I create bespoke plans for new or existing beds featuring plants chosen specifically to thrive.
Colours, textures, heights and shapes are combined to create interest throughout the year. Every plant is selected to suit your specific soil, aspect, and maintenance requirements, ensuring a resilient garden that grows more beautiful with time.
