Gardening for wildlife
About Me
I was a primary school teacher for 12 years before training to become a gardener.
In 2013 I gained a BTEC level 3 diploma in Horticulture, and in 2016 achieved an Award in Social and Therapeutic Horticulture.

What I offer
Garden consultancy
​
Just moved in and have no idea what's growing in your garden? Maybe you would like to refresh your garden with the aim of promoting wildlife? I provide advice and guidance for the key features you should include and how to manage your garden waste more sustainably.
​
The consultation includes plant identification, suggestions for new planting and how to make the most of what you already have in your garden.

Social and therapeutic horticulture sessions in schools
​
Social and therapeutic horticulture
I plan individual and small group sessions which support the cognitive, emotional and social development of young children and adults.
​I have worked with a range of children with special educational needs and can consult with parents and teachers to design an individual programme which will benefit the child.
Garden design
Plant lists
Planting Plans
Bed and border design
I suggest ways to enhance your current planting in order to welcome wildlife to your garden. You will receive a plant list, recommending a range of plants that complement one another and provide necessary food and shelter.
If you have a blank canvas, I produce wildlife friendly planting plans for new beds and borders.
