The Garden Guide

A one-off online or in-person garden advice service.

Now available as a gift experience to purchase for a loved one online.

“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)

“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!”
Emma and Gareth (Online)

About the service

Want to make the most of your outdoor space but don’t know where to start? Do you want some professional help to make informed decisions and avoid expensive mistakes before big garden purchases? Perhaps you want some inspiration for a problem area or help with a planting corner that you’ve been stuck on for a while? If you answered yes to any of these, Zoe’s one-off garden advice service is for you.

What it includes

The service has three stages:

  1. A pre meeting questionnaire: exploring the challenges you want to resolve, your ideal situation and some essential practical aspects of your site. This is designed to help you make the most of the meeting time.

  2. A meeting with Zoe, to discuss and explore the challenges to resolve.

  3. A follow up report with:

    1. A summary of the verbal advice given to you with links for further reading.

    2. Up to 10 plant recommendations - based on your site and visual preferences.

    3. Up to 3 garden furniture or accessory recommendations (e.g. patio furniture, water butt, compost bin, greenhouse, raised bed) suitable for your budget and style.

    4. A shortlist of recommendations for the best suppliers to purchase various items.
