Services
The information below gives you an idea of what I can offer you. If you are interested in sustainable, wildlife gardening, and you like what you see, and would like to find out more, you are very welcome to message, call or email me with any queries. I can also visit your garden and give you a free consultation with ideas about what would suit your needs and what you would like for your space. Please see my Garden Design page for detailed information regarding my design services. For general garden work, I charge £50 for three hours or can give you a quote for a specific project. Thank you!
