Asking for a customer of mine in Hexham… she needs a cleaner 3 hours per week if anyone can do it

24/06/2026

In mid August I’m going to be moving away from the area and the majority of my customers will require a replacement.

Ideally we’re looking for sole gardeners to replace me - I have about 14 regulars who need me for a couple of hours every week to every other week to a full day a week. You’ll see from my bio that I do a range of things so it would be good to get some all rounders but the main thing is good seasonal maintenance skill and plant knowledge with the ability to advise a must.

Please give me a call to discuss.

Cheers

I love it when I’m allowed to leave patches of grass to grow under trees and in the lawn. The daisies, buttercups and clover go mad… and the bees love it 🥰

From this…. to this in a year…. Fruit bushes including black currants, gooseberries and strawberries with some salad crops too.

This is why I love gardening… this bed was created last August and a number of plants transplanted while another part of the garden was landscaped. Some were then moved on, some stayed in position and we’ve added to the planting scheme too. A combination of perennial and evergreen to provide year round interest and colour. Brunnera, Bistort, rhododendron, exochorda, foxglove, verbena amongst others

Love this Bywell garden… box balls clipped, ivy trimmed back, rose laden with blooms secured 🥰
