   I was absolutely thrilled when Carole designed the planting for my garden last year, as I really didn???t know where to start or what would suit each border. This year, as the plants have matured further, the garden is looking truly splendid. The colours and overall layout are beautiful, with no unattractive muddy or empty patches. It is now such a pleasure to sit in the garden and enjoy the wonderful mix of height, texture, and colour she has created. Carole has also always been available to offer advice on plant care and suggestions for seasonal additions to our pots and displays. I would highly recommend this talented lady.

   Carole took on my very small garden project and totally transformed the space. She came up with a great plan for landscaping my patio making into an inside outside space adding plants to add colour and texture. She created a planting scheme for the shared garden space including a range of different plants based on what I liked and to suit the garden's aspect. Her attention to detail and design led approach was impressive and she ensured all the materials used (including the plants!) were of the highest quality. We're really pleased with our new garden.

   Highly recommended; shared her expertise, easy to work with, achieved our required outcome on this, our 2nd major job together. We engaged Carole to do a back garden redesign in our new house in late Spring 2024. We had previously worked with her a few years earlier to redesign our previous house back garden. We spent a couple of weeks coming to a design in early Spring. Carole took account of our preferences and came up with a design that fit within our budget and took account of our wish for extensive planting and the associated plans. We tweaked it a couple of times based on more understanding of the light patterns in the garden as spring emerged. We were able to repurpose various parts of the garden and adopt them into the design, and bring in new elements. Carole connected us with a landscaper to do some of the hard works and this worked out well for everyone. Irrigation was put in to ensure the large number of plants would survive the summer. Carole helped with planting day and found some additional labour to assist with the 150+ plants. We were only a few percent over our budget which was largely as a result of some unexpected fence works. I said in my previous review in 2020 we wouldn???t hesitate to use Carole again and so it turned out. We would say the same again although we do not plan to ever move again!!!

   Last year we engaged Carole to transform our weed-infested, featureless garden into a bird-friendly space that we can enjoy. The process was very thorough. After the initial consultation, Carole took us through a detailed design brief; covering what we wanted in the garden and, more importantly, how we wanted to use it. The whole process was very collaborative. Carole listened carefully to our opinions and wishes and compromises were made, where necessary. She recommended and worked with a landscaper to implement the plan, during the wettest Autumn possible. It was a cold, wet, muddy and seemingly endless time. But eventually it all came together. We also contracted Carole to provide a planting plan, which took into account the few plants and shrubs we wanted to keep. She naturally considered the garden???s aspect and soil type, (clay soil, full shade, dappled shade and full sun), and our requirements for year-round interest and a very natural look. She expertly chose the most appropriate plants and I take my hat off to her and her team who dug into thick clay to plant out the garden. Now we have a truly gorgeous garden. The patio envelopes the rear of the house, an old concrete shed base has been cloaked by an unusually-shaped deck and pergola, the uneven rear fence has disappeared behind a modern slatted facade, and a palisade hides the raised vegetables beds. The old patio bricks have been recycled into new paths and our various sculptures and new water feature are highlighted in the gravel areas. We are delighted with the end result. I can???t stop looking at it! Every day, rain or shine, I look at the garden from my windows, or take a walk around it to see how it???s doing. I love it! it was a big investment but very well worth it as it will give us years of pleasure. Amanda & Ken

   Carole help us design the garden, draw a plant plan and implement the entire project. Carole spent a lot of time discussing our needs and preferences with us and help illustrate various options, which is very helpful, because we literally have zero experience and knowledge with gardening. During the build phase, Carole is always available to questions and help coordinate with builders. 2020 was not a easy year at all with lock-down etc. and there were some bumps on the way, but we are glad to have Carole and have every confidence in her to deliver without compromsing quality. Both my wife and myself are extremely happy with the garden this year, when the bulbs come out this spring and plants grow much bigger! We are still in contact with Carole for maintenance and some random questions, and she is as helpful as always. We will recommend Carole to anyone who want to improve their garden!????????
