The Lady Gardener

We wanted to use a local designer when we decided to upgrade our garden at the beginning of 2021 and Susie was our first choice based on some of the reviews that we read about her designs. Her work ethos is spot on - she came across as very passionate about her work and she obviously loves doing what she does, her attention to detail is wonderful. She involved us in every stage of the project design and incorporated all of our requirements in her drawings. We wanted to keep our existing seating area to reduce cost but Susie dug her heels in and told us it had to removed and redone to make best use of the space and sunshine. She was right as its now an all day sun trap and we love it. I love my garden and Susie made sure that I was involved in all the plant purchases for the garden - she even took me to her plant supplier and walked me round the area asking what I liked and what I didn't like so she could incorporate what I wanted into the new flower beds. Due to problems that we had with our groundwork contractor the garden was finished much later than we had expected so planting wasn't started until the latter part of the year. Susie placed the plants as per her design and I got to help plant a large number of them which was wonderful. Its now March 2022 and Susie professional as ever has already had her first follow up visit to make sure everything that was planted in 2021 is doing well and growing as it should. As for me, I am watching the new growth in the garden with excitement waiting to see what it will be like when everything flowers.

Susie has transformed my back garden from a wasteland into a really beautiful and peaceful space, full of interest. Susie is a delightful person and a joy to work with, as well as highly knowledgeable and hard-working. I'm so glad that I asked The Lady Gardener to help me - the whole experience, as well as the end result, couldn't have been better! Highly recommended

Susie was fantastic from start to finish. She had excellent ideas and great attention to detail. Her design included far more than we thought possible and stayed to our (modest ) budget. The end result is better than we could have hoped for.
