Garden Consultant · Milton Keynes
A personal consultation and bespoke annual care plan — so you always know what to do, and when to do it. For people who want to garden well, but don't know where to start.
The process
Most gardening advice is generic. This isn't. Everything starts with a visit to your garden — so the guidance you receive is built around what you actually have, not a hypothetical.
No jargon, no overwhelming lists. Just a clear plan you can actually follow.
The consultation visit
I come to your garden, walk it with you, and identify every plant. We talk about what you'd like it to become, what's working, and what isn't. Usually around 90 minutes.
Your Annual Care Plan
Within a few days, you receive a bespoke document covering every plant in your garden — with pruning, feeding, watering and care notes — plus a month-by-month calendar for the whole year.
Follow-up visits
Optional, but popular. Book me back seasonally, or whenever you'd like a second opinion on something. Each visit is charged separately, or bundled as part of a seasonal package.
The deliverable
The Annual Care Plan is the centrepiece of the service. A proper, professionally designed document tailored entirely to your garden. Not a printout — something you'll refer back to throughout the year.
Plant inventory
Every plant identified, named, located and described.
Monthly calendar
Tailored to your garden. What to do and when.
Per-plant care
Pruning, feeding, watering and common problems.
My notes
Observations, priorities and recommendations from the visit.

About
I'm a garden consultant based in Milton Keynes, working with homeowners across the area who want to care for their gardens themselves — but aren't sure where to begin.
Gardens are deeply personal things. My job isn't to impose a vision on yours, but to help you understand what you already have, and give you the confidence to look after it well.
I work with all garden sizes and types, from compact courtyard spaces to large established plots. The approach is always the same: careful observation, honest advice, and a plan you can actually follow.
