Structured, month-by-month garden guidance tailored specifically to your own garden — wherever you live in the UK.
This UK-wide online personalised garden advice in the UK is created by an experienced horticultural specialist with over 30 years of practical garden experience.
Start with Practical Seasonal Guidance (Free)
If you’re gardening outside my local area and want structured guidance before committing to monthly support, this is the best place to begin.
I’ve created a short email series explaining the most common garden mistakes I see in established gardens — particularly around pruning, timing and plant placement.
It’s practical, seasonal and written for homeowners who want clarity rather than guesswork.
Free. No obligation.

Who This Online Garden Advice Service Is For:
- Homeowners looking for professional garden advice without hiring a gardener
- People who want an online garden consultation in the UK
- Gardeners who need seasonal planting advice tailored to their own garden
- Those struggling with layout, plant choice, or ongoing maintenance planning
- Gardeners who want structured, seasonal direction
- People willing to carry out the work themselves
- Those who value plant knowledge over generic tips
- Garden owners who want clarity, not overwhelm
This service replaces the need for a one-off in-person garden consultation for many homeowners across the UK.
It is not intended for quick, one-off problem solving or emergency diagnosis.
If you’re local to Wigan, Warrington or St Helens, you may prefer my in-person garden guidance service.
Step 1 – Initial Garden Assessment (£95 one-time)
This structured onboarding phase allows me to understand your garden properly before offering ongoing guidance. It replaces an in-person visit and forms the foundation for all future advice.
What’s Included in Your £95 Assessment:
- Detailed review of your completed garden questionnaire
- Careful analysis of submitted photographs
- Identification and advice on up to 15 plants or problem areas
- Assessment of layout, light, soil indicators and planting style
- A prioritised baseline action plan
- Your first personalised seasonal guidance email
This is not a generic template response. It is a considered review process designed to give you clarity and direction from the outset.
Step 2 – Ongoing Personalised Guidance (£35 per month)
Following your initial assessment, you move into ongoing structured guidance designed to develop your garden steadily and confidently through the seasons.
What Membership Includes:
- A tailored monthly seasonal action plan
- Clear prioritised tasks (what matters most now)
- Forward planning for the coming month
- Ongoing advice based on your evolving garden
- Up to 15 plant or photo reviews per quarter
- Email response time within 3 working days
Minimum initial commitment: 3 months. Founding members retain their monthly rate.
This service does not include emergency diagnosis, landscape design drawings, or unlimited plant identification.
Limited Founding Member Pilot

Frequently Asked Questions
How does online personalised garden advice work across the UK?
After securing your initial garden assessment, you complete a structured questionnaire and submit photographs of your garden. I review everything carefully and provide tailored seasonal guidance based on your layout, planting, soil, and long-term goals. This service is delivered remotely and is available to homeowners anywhere in the UK.
Is this garden advice service suitable for beginners?
Yes. The service is designed for homeowners who want clarity and structured guidance — whether you’re relatively new to gardening or looking to refine and improve an established garden.
What happens after the initial £95 garden assessment?
You receive your first personalised seasonal action plan. From there, you can continue with structured monthly garden guidance (£35 per month) to steadily develop your garden throughout the seasons.
Is this a one-off consultation or ongoing support?
It begins with a detailed assessment, but the real benefit comes from ongoing structured guidance. A minimum three-month commitment ensures meaningful progress and allows your garden to be reviewed and adjusted as the seasons change.
Can you identify plants from photos?
Yes — especially when plants are in leaf or flower. Up to 15 plants or problem areas are reviewed during the initial assessment. You can submit further plant reviews quarterly as part of ongoing support.
Is this garden advice service available anywhere in the UK?
Yes. This is a UK-wide online garden advice service available to homeowners across England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.
How is this different from hiring a local gardener?
This service focuses on structured seasonal strategy and plant review support rather than physical garden maintenance. It is designed to help you understand what to do, when to do it, and why — so you build confidence managing your own garden long term.
What this service is not
Not emergency plant diagnosis
Not landscape design drawings
Not an instant plant ID hotline
Not a short-term “garden makeover”
