This is the where the vision can all go wrong ... or so very right! Having invested time and money into creating a garden of your dreams, the value of proper maintenance, especially in the first few years, should not be underestimated. Even wildflower meadows need proper care.

As living things, the performance of plants can be highly variable depending on soil, light levels, climatic conditions, air or soil-bourne pathogens (diseases) and having a skilled team to keep everything healthy and in balance is vital to realise the original dream.  Knowing which plants to cut back and when, to check growth or delay flowering; knowing when to prune hedges to avoid distrubing nesting birds; understanding how plants develop and when they need dividing; this is all essential in making sure your beloved outdoor space achieves its full potential.
