Prefer to garden yourself — but want expert reassurance?
I offer personalised garden advice visits for homeowners who enjoy their garden, but would value clarity, confidence and professional horticultural guidance throughout the year.
Don’t live in Wigan, Warrington or St.Helens? If you’re outside our local area, we also offer Online Personalised Garden Advice – UK-Wide Seasonal Guidance with structured monthly guidance.
Not sure what to prune this month?
Many established gardens are quietly losing next season’s flowers because of timing mistakes.
I’ve put together a short, practical email series explaining the most common garden errors I see — and how to avoid them.
Free. No sales pressure. Just structured seasonal guidance.

Is this the right fit?
This service suits you if:
- You enjoy working in your own garden
- You don’t want a regular maintenance gardener
- You sometimes feel unsure what to prune, when to cut back, or what to leave alone
- You want to improve your garden gradually rather than overhaul it
- You value plant knowledge and long-term structure
It’s not designed for:
- Regular hands-on maintenance
- One-off tidy-ups
- Or lowest-price gardening services
How it works
Step 1 – Initial Garden Advice Visit
£95 one-off visit
During this 40-minute visit we will:
- Walk the garden together
- Clarify what needs doing now — and what doesn’t
- Discuss pruning timing, plant care and structure
- Identify simple priorities
- Answer your questions
This is advice-led, not hands-on gardening.
You’ll be left with clarity on what to prioritise, what to leave, and how to move forward confidently.
Step 2 – Optional Monthly Seasonal Guidance
£35 per month
After your initial visit, you can continue with:
- A personalised monthly guidance email
- Clear seasonal priorities
- Reassurance about what to leave alone
- One thoughtful improvement suggestion each month
- Ongoing access to ask questions by email
This provides calm, structured oversight without employing a regular gardener.
Why this is different
Most gardeners either:
- Carry out regular maintenance
- Or provide ‘thoughtless’ labour
This service is different.
It provides ongoing professional judgement — helping you make confident decisions in your own garden, season by season.
It suits thoughtful homeowners who want support, not replacement.
Areas covered
Wigan, Warrington, St Helens and surrounding areas.
