With over 10 years of experience, I am a confident and competent gardener able to tackle an array of gardening tasks with passion, care and precision. My training is focussed on lawn care, weeding, hedge trimming, fruit and ornamental tree pruning while promoting biodiversity, soil health and sustainable ecosystems.

I am fully insured and have over forty regular clients whom I provide gardening services to throughout the year. With them I have been able to create and maintain natural spaces that are resilient, low-maintenance and provide beauty for each season.

Always learning and honing my craft, I am open to new ideas and styles. I am a keen advocate of the ‘no-dig’ method, and love ‘cottage garden’ style planting which provides year-round beauty, hardiness and habitat for all manner of beneficial organisms.

I believe climate change is happening and have witnessed a decline in the variety of plants and wildlife in the gardens in the last decade. The extreme conditions ranging from long droughts, freak arctic blasts and months of endless rain have killed off many plants and enabled exotic pests and diseases to proliferate. I have also observed gardens which have weathered this better than others and have taken note of which plants and management techniques are more successful. I intend to use what I have learned to help create sustainable gardens that will survive and thrive in a changing climate. I have achieved a L2 Certificate in Understanding Climate Change and Environmental Awareness.

I do use petrol powered tools which I mitigate by using high performance, low-emissions machines (Stihl and Honda) powered by Aspen alkylate petrol which contains significantly less harmful hydrocarbons. Learn more at aspenfuel.co.uk.
