Victoria Philpott Gardens

Victoria is super easy to work with. She listened to our wishes for how we wanted to use the garden and then then came up with the perfect design for us. She worked with us and our contractors to ensure the project went smoothly and that everyone was happy. I would highly recommend her.

First and foremost Victoria is a very friendly and engaging person. She listened to what we were looking for and then came up with a design and detailed, fully costed, plan, consulting with us at every stage. Victoria engaged a first class team of landscapers (ATB Landscapes) who did a wonderful job and very evidently have huge respect for her knowledge and attention to detail. End result is a beautiful gravel garden, stream and wildlife pond, beautifully planted, on time and within budget. We have no hesitation in recommending Victoria Philpott Gardens to any and everyone who could benefit from her services. Bart & Carol Gould

Victoria is personable, expert in her field and intuitive to the clients needs I really enjoyed working with her and felt safe in her hands Victoria is also clear about cost and managed expectation effectively Nothing is too much trouble - no matter how small the issue

Victoria worked with us on the garden design and listened to what we wanted. As the project progressed and we were more aware of what we wanted in the garden she adapted the plans and provided us with a complementary planting design. Victoria answered e mails promptly and provided us with links to appropriate websites and provided choices within the planting scheme. We have undertaken the hard landscaping ourselves and Victoria has followed the progress with interest offering support as needed. We are really pleased with the overall finish and can now enjoy the garden.

Victoria did wonderful work on my back garden a few years ago. She came up with an elegant design - exactly what I was looking for - and transformed what was a rather shabby back garden into a beautiful space, which has given me many hours of pleasure ever since. Having done such a great job with my back garden, I recently commissioned Victoria to renovate my front garden as well. Her exquisite design has made an immeasurable difference to the front of the house and even makes the the interior of the flat feel lighter and happier. Victoria is a reliable, friendly professional, who produces gorgeous green spaces within the agreed budget. I can't recommend her strongly enough!

I contacted Victoria last year as I was looking for inspiration for my rather dull and colourless garden. From start to finish Victoria was/is a delight to work with. She listened carefully to my wishes and wants and quite limited colour palette and although the garden doesn't lend itself to much hard landscaping change, the palette and scheme Victoria came up with is superb and exactly what I was hoping for. The bulbs are out now and things are beginning to come through, I can see that Victoria's scheme is perfect for me and the garden. The scheme is quite formal which is exactly what I wanted and the colours are stunning. I would definitely recommend Victoria to anyone. She's lovely to deal with, does what she says and discusses everything to make sure her customer is happy and knows exactly what is happening and when, including the CAD design. We had a problem with blight when planting day came - Victoria immediately recognised the issue and sent the infected plants back (90 of them). Also Victoria is a lovely, gentle, calm girl which makes big investments like this so much easier and reassuring. Her horticultural knowledge is second to none. I'm so excited with my lovely new garden and looking forward to showing it off to guests.

We moved into our new build home in Matlock eighteen months ago and were keen to create an inspiring garden which would be filled with year round planting as well as relaxing spaces where we could chill out and socialise with friends and family. From our first meeting with Victoria we were filled with confidence that she would deliver on our vision and the final outcome is beyond our imagination. Victoria listened to the ideas we had and then interpreted them in such a way as to create a unique space which wows everyone who has visited. Victoria's knowledge about plants that would thrive in our north facing plot and her willingness to incorporate plants that we had already grown has led to a garden that feels like our own but with the designer touch. Friends have commented that it looks like a garden from a magazine or a garden make-over show. While the planting is all very recent, so will take some time to mature, we are taking great delight both in looking at it from indoors and enjoying the seating in the various sunny spots at different times of day. Victoria is a delight to work with, an excellent communicator and so open and friendly. It has been a real pleasure to work with her on our project.

We had been meaning to do our garden for years but never seemed to have the time or expertise to know where to start. Victoria was brilliant, she listened to what we wanted enquiring about everything from level of maintenance and plants we particularly liked, through to how we were planning to use the garden and what type of soil we had. We were particularly impressed with Victoria’s plant knowledge, dedication to detail, flexibility and desire for the garden to be just right. We are really happy with our finished garden and enjoy being in it more than we ever imagined.

Victoria is a joy to work with. Her design concept harmonised beautifully with my expectations and the garden space available. She has an excellent eye for colour and intuitively understood my vision.

We really enjoyed working with Victoria. She helped us redesign our rather tired garden layout and unimaginative plants. After an initial meeting , Victoria produced some really interesting concept designs. Her extensive plant knowledge, ideas and enthusiasm have helped us create an all round garden. It’s a pleasure to look out every day to see what’s new and to observe the seasonal changes. We’ve had lots of very positive comments from friends and passers by. Victoria project managed the transformation and had a good team working alongside her. She is very professional and brought the scheme in on budget and to an agreed timescale. We now have a striking, low maintenance garden full of interesting plants and shrubs. It is maturing well and gives us great pleasure.
