    Our consultations involve a productive visit to your garden to walk around and talk about your ambitions and visions. I will be available to offer insights, tips, direction and provide clarity for your space.

    ‍This will be followed by a summary with notes summarising what we discussed and how you can get started. It usually includes species lists, design notes and solutions to issues mentioned in the consultation.

    This can just as effectively be done via a video call, so I am happy to say it is available to anyone who would like it.
