How it works
The service has three stages:
1. Pre-Meeting Questionnaire: This explores the challenges you want to resolve, your ideal situation, and essential practical aspects of your site. It’s designed to help you make the most of the meeting time and for Zoe to get up to speed to make the most of your time together.
2. Meeting: Discuss and explore the challenges you want to resolve in your garden. This is either in person or a video call.
3. Follow-Up Report: Including a summary of what was discussed and recommendations for your next steps.
What the report includes
Verbal advice for the allotted time and a report which contains:
A summary of the verbal advice given, with links for further reading.
Up to 10 plant recommendations based on a visual inspection of your site and your preferences.
Up to 3 garden item recommendations: furniture or accessory recommendations (e.g. patio furniture, water butt, compost bin, greenhouse, raised bed) suitable for your budget and style.
A shortlist her favourite plant suppliers to purchase various items.

“After our session with Zoe, we’ve had the confidence, clarity and direction needed to start converting our garden to a space we can live in and enjoy. Her depth of knowledge was really impressive, while she also made it accessible for us as amateurs! Our conversation brought forward ideas we would never have considered and we are now well on our way to having a garden that we love in our home. Thank you again Zoe!”

“We were very happy with our garden consultation with Zoe. She had an incredible eye for detail, taking in everything from soil PH, to how each member of the family likes to use our outdoor space. She came up with several ideas we had never thought of, and helped us imagine a wonderful new vision of the space - all logically followed through and backed up by her observations. We’ve now got the oomph to get up and go do it!”
Amy and Steve (In-person)
Please note: This service is designed for those that feel they would benefit from some professional direction but are planning to design and create the garden themselves. The price above does not include scale drawings, soil sampling, project management, plant installation or sourcing services. Advice is preliminary and based on best available information. Clients should ensure they have done the necessary investigations of their desired spaces before any purchases.
