Seven years in business. 🌿

What started as just me, my Volkswagen Beetle, and a pair of secateurs has grown into something I’m genuinely proud of.

Thank you to every customer who’s trusted me with their garden, and to everyone who’s recommended me along the way. I couldn’t have got here without you.

Here’s to many more seasons ahead. 🌱

Happy Anniversary to me! 🥂

It’s HOT HOT HOT 🔥 out there today. I’m desperately clinging to every bit of shade possible.

Don’t forget to look after your plants 🪴 in this heat and keep them hydrated 💧. . . . . . your gardener can fend for themselves 😜

It’s time for the ‘Chelsea Chop’.

The Chelsea Chop is a simple pruning technique used in late May to keep perennials shorter, sturdier and flowering for longer.

By cutting back around a third to a half of the growth now, you’ll encourage bushier plants, reduce flopping and stagger blooms later into summer. Perfect for plants like sedum, phlox, helenium and asters.

The first hint of vibrancy in my garden has finally emerged. My resilient Helebores 'Ice 'N Roses' are thriving despite the dismal weather over the past couple of weeks and showcasing their gorgeous, delicate blooms.
