Garden Advice & Walkabout

A little guidance to help you make more of your garden

Sometimes you don't need a complete garden redesign, just a fresh perspective, some practical advice and a few well-considered ideas.

My Garden Walkabout is a relaxed, one-to-one visit where we'll explore your garden together, discussing its potential, identifying opportunities for improvement and finding practical solutions to any challenges you might be facing.

Who is it for?

A Garden Walkabout is ideal if you'd like:

• Advice on refreshing existing borders or improving your planting.

• Help choosing suitable plants, trees and shrubs for your garden.

• Ideas for improving the use of your space.

• Guidance on materials, features and possible garden improvements.

• A fresh perspective on areas of your garden that aren't quite working.

• Practical advice before deciding whether to undertake a larger project.

What to expect

We'll spend 1.5 hours walking around your garden, discussing your ideas, exploring possibilities and offering practical advice tailored to your space.

Afterwards, I'll spend another 1.5 hours putting together a written summary of our discussion, including any plant suggestions, recommendations and possible next steps for your garden.

A note about the service

The Garden Walkabout is an informal garden advice service rather than a design package. While we can explore ideas for layout, planting and materials, it doesn't include the detailed development of design concepts, measured layouts, design drawings or planting plans.

If your garden would benefit from a more comprehensive redesign, we can discuss what a full garden design service involves.

Garden Walkabout – £170

The service includes 3 hours in total:

• 1.5 hours visiting your garden, walking through the space and discussing ideas, challenges and possible improvements.

• 1.5 hours spent preparing a written summary of our discussion, including relevant plant suggestions, recommendations and practical next steps.

Additional time can be arranged at £50 per hour. For larger gardens or more extensive requirements, we can discuss allowing extra time when booking. If we find we need a little longer during the visit, I'm also happy to extend our time by agreement.
