The best gardens are not copied.
They are discovered.
I believe a garden is never just a collection of plants. It is a reflection of the person that grows it. After more than thirty years observing gardens and gardeners, my work is to help you understand your own garden, trust your instincts and create a place that feels deeply yours.
I’m Louise.
PLANTSWOMAN, WRITER, GARDENER
For more than thirty years I've helped create some of Britain's best-loved gardening programmes, including over 25 series of Gardeners' World. During that time I've visited hundreds of gardens and met remarkable gardeners.
They taught me something I never expected.
The most beautiful gardens are not the most perfect.
They are the most loved. And they belong completely to the people who made them.
I can't promise you a perfect garden.
But I can help you create one you'll love for the rest of your life.
Your garden already has a story.
Let's discover the next chapter together.

"She didn't simply tell us what to plant. She helped us create a garden that feels like home."
"She didn't just help us plan a garden. She helped us fall in love with making one."
"Planting the garden together became one of our favourite memories, and we've returned to Louise whenever we've wanted to develop it further."
"Her ideas, planting suggestions and conversations about how the garden would evolve over time transformed what felt overwhelming into an exciting journey."

one-to-one
Garden consultation
A morning in your garden, or a focused couple of hours on Zoom — time to properly understand your space and how I can help.
How it works:
This session is about seeing your garden clearly and giving you direction — a walk-through, honest observations, and a clear sense of priorities.
If you'd like me to put together anything further afterwards, such as a detailed plant list or planting plan, that's available as an additional service.
