TESTIMONIALS
Thank you is simply not enough!
"I knew nothing about Gilly when l sent her an email enquiring about her garden designs. She was simply an internet advertisement and relatively close to our home. Now l regard her as a friend; a caring, thoughtful, diligent, meticulous friend to say the very least, in whom l have complete trust. She has the ability to astutely form a picture of her clients’ needs, interests, personalities, and likes/dislikes, all of which are taken into account at every stage of the design and creation of the garden. Gilly conscientiously ensures her clients are satisfied that their needs and desires are being met. Fastidious springs to mind! Consequently, we have a garden to treasure, enjoy and use. A living, breathing extension to our house. Our very own haven of tranquillity and beauty. Thank you is simply not enough!"

Mrs R Graves, Nottinghamshire
Your use of colour and texture was lovely...
"We loved your ideas for our garden, firstly as you seemed to interpret what we, as novices, wanted for our garden without realising it! Your ability to create space in a small London garden was most impressive and you ensured that we had ample entertaining and relaxing space - making little nooks and crannies where before there were none.
"Your use of colour and texture was lovely, and we adored the addition of a 'pretend/faux' door in the back wall giving us such a wonderful quirky focal point that just added to all the gorgeous planting ideas."

Very knowledgeable, helpful and charming...
"To celebrate our milestone birthdays this year, we decided our large country garden needed attention.
​
"Gillian came along in March and took over, transforming various flower beds and borders and other parts of the garden into places of beauty, much admired by everyone, including those who came near and far for a family gathering at the beginning of August.
"We found Gillian to be very knowledgeable, helpful, and charming, and would not hesitate to recommend her."

Simple and stunning. Looked good on paper. Even better in reality.
"Gillian was responsible for the re-design and planting of part of the garden. Structurally: two new terraces and a long path with five wooden frames. Planting: A west-facing border adjoining the path and three flower beds enclosing the terraces.
​
"Gillian’s design was simple and stunning. Looked good on paper. Even better in reality.
​
"The planting is a delight. Evergreens for all-year-round structure. Other shrubs for autumn colour, winter scent and spring flowering. Pollinator friendly perennials. Lovely grasses. Gillian incorporated our own preferences for plants; and added many more with which we were unfamiliar. Gillian sourced the plants. Good quality; reasonable prices. We did not have a detailed planting plan on paper. Rather, Gillian had an image in her mind, then set out on site, seeing what worked best. The overall effect is superb.
​
"One particular success is the opening up of a previously solid wooded edge, now underplanted with ferns and other shade-loving plants. The effect is to extend this part of the garden and to make it much more attractive and interesting.
​
"We would wish particularly to praise Gillian’s high standards and communication skills. Site visits during the planning, construction and planting stages. Frequent emails and messages. Throughout, attention to detail and a marvellous enthusiasm for the task.
"As with many happy couples, we have complementary skills. One of us loves gardening. The other loves sitting on the new terrace, reading, surrounded by flowers and bees. We are both thrilled with Gillian’s work with us."
