Landscaping

You need not bring in trucks, earthmovers and a giant budget to make an impressive difference to your property with paths, garden edging, terracing and retaining, raised gardens, steps, stairs and more. Ask us about small scale soft and hard landscaping and building.

Development

Gardens are often full of potential for improvement by making the most of what you've already got! Developing a garden at every opportunity is what gardening is really all about. With a little patience your garden can look like it's had a make over simply by having an experienced eye looking for improvement opportunities as part of general maintenance.

Education and public speaking

Garden groups, schools, community groups etc. I speak on a range of topics to fit your event and run training and workshops across a wide range of environmental, organics, propagation and gardening topics.

Ecological restoration

Restoration is the process of restoring an area as much as possible to its original state. Local species ideally grown from seed collected from an original local site means a greater potential to adapt to local environmental challenges over the long term. The more native habitats we lose the more important it becomes to protect and restore them. My knowledge in this area began over 20 years ago and has continued to grow ever since.
