Action plan

Whether you are a gardening novice or a seasoned gardener, I can offer you a safe pair of horticultural hands for you to get the absolute best out of your plants and garden. You will have your very own AUNTIE PLANTY Action Plan to make your garden sparkle.

I will walk with you around your garden, and we’ll discuss what’s there, what could be there and chat about the best way forward.
The notes that I take will form the basis of your Action Plan, which will also include plant suggestions, how-to instructions for practical tasks and hot links to relevant garden products or equipment.

There are three levels of Action Plan:
Walk & Talk
Walk, Talk & Plan
Walk, Talk, Plan & Coach

Armed with this comprehensive information you’ll then be able to choose the right plants for your garden, you’ll also understand how and why your plants are suffering from plant pests to be able to control them. And, you’ll be able to do your bit for the environment by using water wisely and efficiently.

There’s also the chance to email for added support between your garden sessions.

As a chartered horticulturist, I have been solving plant and garden problems for more than 25 years, in print, online, on the radio and now in person in your garden. I also offer gift vouchers so that you can share this garden magic with a friend or loved one.

The Auntie Planty gardening service starts from as little as £80, which makes it flexible and affordable. If only one plant is saved from the jaws of death, then my expertise becomes a money-saving exercise.

To book your first session, get in touch by email or phone.
