Hedge trims and hedge reductions carried out before and after nesting season.

Always mindful of looking after the hedges for our wildlife, as well as garden owners ☺️

A path clean done in one of my regular gardens on a rainy day this week.

This was an elbow grease job!

The whole path was scrubbed with a hard bristled brush and sharp sand to remove algae, bringing out the natural colour of the stone, and making the path much less slippery!

Although jet cleaning is a service I provide, in some instances, a more gentle approach to cleaning is the better option. ✨

This small neglected garden area was to be turned into a little kitchen garden.

The brief was to create this, re purposing materials already found in the garden.

After an initial clear of unusable materials, I hand built some new raised beds from timbers found around the garden, painted them and installed them. Wood chips were applied to the surrounds for a natural, organic look.

New compost was added, along with a selection of vegetable plants grown from seed.

Both the garden owners and I are looking forward to seeing what we can produce for the kitchen this year!

Garden transformation over the last couple of seasons.

In, the area had to be cleared by hand of brambles, nettles and waist high grass.

The lawn has been lovingly restored, and flower borders created to include perennial, biennial and annual plants.

This year will see further additions to the flower borders 🌸🌼🌺

The area was raked of stones, weeded, levelled, newly sown with grass seed and netted until looking lush 🌱

This garden owner wanted to create a meadow garden. 2023 was it‘s first year of development. We worked with the existing lawn, and let it grow to reveal existing wildflowers.

Springtime revealed snakeshead fritillary, cowslips, self heal, bluebell, ribwort, wild geranium and forget-me-not.

We added oxeye daisy, ammi majus and achillea milefolium, all of which I grew from seed.

It was all cut back in September, ready for the new season.

Strips of new perennial wildflower beds have now been incorporated.

Yellow rattle has also been sown to parasitise the existing grass and help the balance of wildflower growth.

Watch this space.. 🌱🌸

Another 2023 project.

A new lawn created on a budget. The whole area was raked clear of stones and debris. 2 bulk bags of new topsoil were transferred and levelled. The whole area was then sown with grass seed and netted.

The result was a lovely green space by June ☺️

One of my biggest single projects of 2023.

580 thyme and chamomile plants planted into newly laid topsoil, to create a highly scented, pollinator friendly lawn with a difference 💚💜
