Cultivate Your Dream Garden
Plant and Garden offers a personalised gardening service that's a little different and very individual. Whether you want someone to take care of your garden for you, or you’d like guidance to learn how to grow and look after your plants yourself, I can help you achieve your garden goals in a sustainable, practical way that fits your lifestyle.
Who is it for?
Plant and Garden is a small, friendly business for anyone who wants to enjoy their garden more, in a way that suits them. Gardens and gardening are for everyone. Whether you’re just starting out on your gardening journey, have years of experience, or simply need an extra pair of hands, there’s always something to do, something new to learn, and something that brings real purpose and satisfaction. I make an initial visit to all potential customers free of charge to discuss their requirements.
Do you need regular help with your garden and plants?
If you’d like regular ongoing help with the gardening and the care of your plants, Plant and Garden can help. I offer flexible two‑hour sessions, as often as you need, to keep your garden healthy and looking its best.
Do you want occasional or one off help?
If you’re looking to create a garden that feels like your own personal sanctuary, Plant and Garden can support you as much or as little as you need. I offer flexible, ad‑hoc help so you can shape and manage your garden in a way that suits your abilities, confidence and time.
Would you like to learn to garden?
If you’re unsure where to start — which plants to choose, where to put them, or how to look after them — Plant and Garden can guide you. I offer hands‑on coaching in your own garden, helping you plan, plant and learn how to care for your garden through the year. Coaching sessions start from one hour and can be as frequent as you need.
Would having a gardening companion help you with your health and wellbeing?
If you’re looking for a calming escape from everyday stress, gardening can be a great way to connect with nature and boost your wellbeing. If you’re unsure which tasks suit you or how to get started, Plant and Garden can work alongside you, offering gentle guidance, practical help, and support in your garden.
Do you want to avoid 'garden despair' on your return from holiday?
If you love your plants but worry about leaving them, Plant and Garden can step in. I offer tailored plant care based on your garden, how long you’re away, and whatever the British weather brings. I particularly specialise in looking after vegetable plots and greenhouses, so you can return to a thriving garden, not a stressful one.
Who is it not for?
Plant and Garden isn’t a traditional garden‑maintenance service. I don’t prune large boundary hedges or trees, remove ivy, or take away garden waste — there are plenty of great people who already specialise in that. I’m also not a garden designer or landscaper. I’m a qualified gardener and lifelong plant enthusiast, as well as a busy mum and experienced grower of flowers, fruit and vegetables. I love working with people and their outdoor spaces to help them create and care for beautifully planted gardens that fit their lives. I believe in the simple rule of “right plant, right place”, and I have a particular soft spot for drought‑tolerant plants and growing tomatoes.
