Garden Tidy

Life is full of twists and turns. Sometimes hard but always interesting. I started Garden Tidy over 14 years ago and have been manically busy ever since! In my previous life I was a Marketing Manager in the Travel Industry so a bit of a career change but what’s always interesting in life how skills can be transferred to completely different tasks. In marketing, I had a strong sense of design, colour, organisational skills and ability to prioritise… skills which are surprisingly useful in my gardening life today!

In my 14 years there isn’t much which I haven’t seen or encountered before. Everyone always apologies for the state of their garden when I first arrive but don’t. We are all working all the hours God sends to pay the mortgage so who has the time to sort the garden out these days. That’s where I can help.

If you don’t know the difference between plants and weeds, are not sure when to prune plum trees or simply look at the garden and think where on earth do I start then just leave it to me. I can sort the lot – large projects or small. I can help you to avoid the common gardening pit falls (like the desire to create huge areas of borders in your garden which need to be constantly weeded when you cant cope with what you have already), and help devising simple gardening and repair solutions to enable you to maintain your garden without killing yourself in the process.

I can cope with everything from a hedge that needs cutting, a garden that looks like a total war zone or fully re-landscaping your garden. Quite handy really as I’m a bit of a one stop shop. Whatever you need doing, I can do it to a high standard. Very handy chappie.
