 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a one hour consultation with Rachel and can't recommend it highly enough. Rachel was so easy to chat to and really helped us understand what we needed from our garden and how to design it so it worked for the whole family. We are complete novices and didn't have any idea where to start. Not only have we now got a plan for the garden, but we have the knowledge and confidence to maintain it. Rachel really focused on the basic theories of garden design, which we will be able to apply again and again. It's an absolute bargain - I'm sure we'll save far more than the consultation fee by choosing the right plants first time round instead of our usual trail and error approach!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a one-hour garden consultation with Rachel and found it incredibly helpful. Rachel was friendly, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand what I was hoping to achieve with my garden.

During the consultation she shared lots of creative ideas and practical suggestions that helped me visualise the space much more clearly. She offered valuable advice on layout, and how to make the most of the garden for how I intend to use it.

I came away with a much better understanding of how to bring everything together and several ideas that I hadn’t considered before. It was also really helpful to have a written guide of everything we discussed after so that I can refer back to this. Thank you.

A blank canvas can be daunting but Rachel has come up with some great ideas for us as a family and as a photographer working from a home studio. Can’t wait to get the ideas in place! Thanks for the awesome support Rachel!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 1 hour consultation - we booked in with Rachel for a 1 hour consultation after a lot of thought. We knew what we wanted from our garden and had a fairly stable plan but just couldn't picture it or have the confidence to move forward. We wholeheartedly recommend booking a chat with Rachel, she explained things really clearly and made several suggestions that just made perfect sense that we hadn't even considered. We really appreciate the fact that Rachel also created a bespoke timed appointment for us to work around our little ones. The report sent through afterwards also helped us to remember what had been discussed and the sketches shown. Thank you Rachel!
