Hi I am Gail

Like many people, my gardening journey started when I moved into my first house with a garden and wanted to start growing flowers and food but didn’t have a clue what I was doing!

So I enrolled myself on a local night school class called Start Gardening which lead to a Wildlife Gardening class and then a Start Garden Design class and from there a course with the Welsh College of Horticulture in Advanced Garden Design.

I moved to the Ceredigion coast, built a new garden from scratch and as my children grew bigger I decided to turn my hobby into my job. I studied RHS level 2 at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales and started to work as a private gardener.

I also qualified as a yoga teacher and for several years I happily divided my time between teaching yoga and gardening.

As the years have progressed I have come to realize that my passion is is for garden design. Working with people to help them create their perfect, beautiful, outside space. I love translating people’s ideas into drawings that can communicate how they want their garden to be and finding the perfect plants to complement their ideas.

So back to college I went to study for the RHS level 3 in Construction, Planting and Design.

I still maintain a select few gardens because I think it’s important to keep my hands in the soil, it keeps me grounded and I enjoy seeing how plant combinations change and evolve with the seasons. I continually keep discovering new plants and trying new things, new planting combinations, new gardening techniques and learning new skills.

Now I divide my time between gardening, designing and giving gardening advice.

Hopefully, I can help you too.
