the idea

Maggie and Julie both have a Certificate in Horticulture (with distinctions in Garden Design) and more than fifteen years 'hands on' gardening experience. Through their own gardens and work for other people, they have acquired skills and knowledge relating to trees and shrubs, herbaceous plants, fruit, vegetables and herbs.

We understand how to:

  • help people make the most of their gardens
  • provide horticultural know-how without the jargon
  • apply organic principles to planting and garden maintenance
  • utilise gardening and garden projects as a vehicle for creating community ownership and individual well being
  • involve local communities in shaping the use of the spaces around them
