‘‘Susan has been the professional gardener at Cranford Hall since February 2007… principally been the maintenance of the borders, the planning and design of several new features and generally advising the owners on all aspects of management. Susan has proved herself well up to these tasks. She uses her training intelligently and is able to successfully marry theory with practice. She is diligent, energetic and conscientious. During her time at Cranford, the gardens have improved considerably, in large part due to her efforts. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is looking for a qualified and enthusiastic gardener, with considerable interest in garden design and improvement.’JR January 2011.

If you love your garden, and would love a beautifully kept outdoor space to come home to, then this is for you.

Generally this service is suitable for larger private gardens, historic houses with landscaped grounds, country estate property, gardens open to the public or for an event.
