Creative Maintenance

Support you through all stages of the garden from establishment to continued management

A garden that feels overwhelming & too much work can cause more stress & frustration than joy. Making some small changes to the planting in your garden can have a big impact in how much maintenance is needed. Methods of management that are targeted help looking after the garden in a way that is less labour intense, reducing the overwhelm and allowing you to spend some time in your garden, enjoying it again.

After years of maintaining gardens for my clients, I have become more and more experienced developing strategies to reduce labour and create an environment that requires less maintenance which I am now using to help look after your garden.

caring for your garden

  • Long-term Success - Creating a garden doesn’t stop with the implementation of the design. I believe design, establishment and aftercare go hand in hand. Together we ensure the planting establishes well and I offer ongoing support. 

  • A Garden evolving with Time - Gardens are not static places, frozen in time - they are evolving, shifting, dynamic spaces. I believe garden design is only the starting point. By thoughtfully and creatively maintaining a garden, we ensure it stays functional and visually appealing whilst reducing unnecessary input and allowing for dynamic processes to take place. 

What to expect when we look after your garden together

  • We will arrange an appointment for a Site Visit, so we can discuss what your requirements are, how many hours are needed and if we are a good fit.

  • Recurring or One-Off Sessions

  • My hourly rate is currently £30/h

“In my approach I focus on sustainable gardening practices, reducing the need for chemicals and interventions. By choosing plants for our Planting Designs that are perfectly suited to your site’s unique conditions, we ensure healthier, more resilient landscapes that require less water and care.”
