Need help with your garden?
What I offer
Beautiful borders, thoughtfully designed for you.
I create personalised planting plans tailored to your garden, soil, and lifestyle, helping you transform your outdoor space without the overwhelm. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refreshing an existing border, I’ll provide practical guidance and support to give you the confidence to create and care for a garden you will love.
With an RHS Level 2 qualification, experience at RHS Bridgewater and Grappenhall Walled Garden, and a lifetime passion for gardening, I combine expert plant knowledge with a practical, down to earth approach.
After 25 years as a nurse, caring for people has always been central to my work. I bring that same patience, attention to detail, and understanding of wellbeing to every garden, creating spaces that are beautiful, achievable, and designed to be enjoyed.
Where do I start?
Complete a simple enquiry form with details about your garden, the border you’d like to transform and your address. You may also wish to share a photo or two of your garden. I’ll then get in touch to arrange a convenient time to visit your garden and discuss your ideas.
We’ll meet in your garden to discuss your style, colour preferences, requirements, and how much time you realistically want to spend caring for it. I’ll review the space, test the soil, and share initial ideas and inspiration to help you see what’s possible.
I live in Lymm and am happy to visit homes in the Cheshire area. The cost of the hour consultation is £50.
If you’d like more support and a detailed plan, I can create a bespoke illustrated planting design with layout, plant choices, and a shopping list with quantities. I’ll consider your budget, existing plants, and lifestyle to create a practical plan you can complete at your own pace.
Costs depend on the size of your border.
Why choose Garden Border Design?
If you’ve ever stood looking at your garden and thought, “I want it to look beautiful, but I don’t know where to begin,” I can help.
Perhaps you’ve bought plants without a plan, only to see them struggle in the wrong place. Maybe your borders have become tired, overcrowded, or full of gaps, leaving you spending more time fixing problems than enjoying your garden.
With thoughtful planning, you can create a beautiful, balanced border that works with your garden, your lifestyle and the time you have available. Whether you need a refresh or a completely new planting scheme, I’ll help you make confident choices that bring your garden back to life.
