Planting expertise, when you need it
Freelance horticultural and planting support for landscape contractors, builders, developers and design professionals.
With more than 25 years' practical horticultural and landscaping experience, I provide specialist support for the planting side of projects — from initial site assessment and planting schemes through to plant schedules, sourcing, setting out and establishment.
I can work from existing plans and briefs or assess a project on site, and can be brought in for a complete planting project or simply the individual stage where additional expertise or capacity is needed.
