our services
Garden design and planning
Through consultation, we help you to define your brief to develop the best plan of action. We talk about the requirements and make notes, which is a great place to start. An initial plan and hand-drawn design to help visualise and discipline the project is advisable.
Personalised coaching
We are committed to a hands-on approach as there is no better way to understand and cultivate a space. We also think that this is the best way anyone can get to know plants and develop a relationship with them as contextualised by their own garden.
Restoration and maintenance
We make sure your garden gets the care and attention it deserves to stay happy and healthy which means feeding, top dressing, pruning, and tickling. We maintain gardens for landlords letting their properties, families, senior citizens and working professionals.
Workshop development
Schools and community centred learning groups can also have a package designed to suit them individually including a run of workshops. Most recently we ran seed sowing workshops for ‘Stay and play’ at Cypress School, and a childminders group in Norbury.
Creative environments
The outdoor room. The garden. It can be an alchemist's mix up of mud and magic with hidden places for childs play, a nook to read, cook, grow, experiment, build, eat, create. It can be a place to dream, to recharge. What would be your dream garden?
Building soft structures
Using willow, hazel and other non-prepared natural materials to make structures for the garden is a lot of fun and very rewarding. Living willow domes for kids to hide in, tunnels to run through and structures to be later recycled into bean climbing frames.

some kind words from my clients
“Sarah was hired to develop a conceptual design for my garden which included utilising the space on (and under) a mound at the rear end. I found her to be very enthusiastic, punctual and nature loving, with an in depth knowledge and interest in plants, soil, garden design and it’s influence, not only on us but also, on birds, bees and insects.She carried out a survey, showed good understanding of our own needs and likes. She provided conceptual design on time. The design was practical and innovative”
Anil Deshpande / CEO at Foresight Group
“Sarah is a fantastic gardener with the rare benefit of being able to teach her clients in a friendly and informative manner about their garden and plants. Her design skills are fantastic and clients are consulted about every step of process so that they are left with a lovely, manageable, on brief garden that feels like their own from day one.Sarah has an extensive knowledge of all things horticultural and a thirst for learning so she is always up to date with trends, whether for organic home grown produce, green roofs, heritage plants or bee keeping.If you are looking to re-vamp your garden then i can highly recommend Sarah, she won’t disappoint.”
Karen Scarles / Owner of Creative Independence
“Sarah has a passion and creativity for her work that I really admire. Clients to whom we have recommended Sarah have always been extremely happy with the service she provides; a thorough consultation where she offers expert advice but also listens to the needs of her clients right through to the end result.She really pays attention to the details, with Sarah nothing is overlooked and her enthusiasm is definitely contagious.”
