What Nick's clients say

Nick replanted my dead box topiary in the design I asked for. He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful and will be doing more planting in the autumn.

Nick is a hardworking and enthusiastic gardener with a passion for his craft. He has an eye for combining formal and relaxed planting with a structured but abundant appeal, a treat for the eye. Colour and scent are always important considerations for him too.
