Secret Gardener Planting Plans
Your garden doesn't have to be big to be clever!
It’s the plants that make every day in your garden unique. They provide the ever-changing interest leading you from season to season.
Using different planting techniques and styles of plants the feel of the same hard-landscaping can be transformed from cottage garden to tropical paradise - and everything in between.
So there's no need to destory and rebuild your whole garden to refresh it - simply change the plants!
Planned properly, every penny spent on the right plants is an investment which will grow and keep giving you a return. No more wasting money buying plants you fancy at the garden centre, and then discovering the little critters don't like your garden (and we're not judging, we've all done it!)

So how does it work?
Secret Gardener Planting Plans start with a site visit.
I’ll assess your garden’s soil, aspect and conditions, talk to you about what you want your garden to achieve (and of course give you some ideas too!) and take it from there.
You’ll get a full document (printed and in digital form to keep on your computer) for each bed or border. It’ll have a full layout plan for the plants I suggest; information on where you can source them yourselves – locally or through reputable, tried and tested online providers.
The information will give you the full Latin names for the plants as well as their common names, so whatever your skill level it’ll be easy to understand.
There are no surprise costs, no hidden extras and no risk of ‘designer prices’ spiralling out of control.
