Who are we?

Us by our garden pond.- Copyright (c) Alec Scaresbrook

We're seasoned gardeners, with the theory under our belts and the soil under our fingernails. And we're passionate about helping others to create a garden to enjoy, instead of seeing it as a problem.


We found studying for our City & Guild's and RHS certificates a revelation - once we discovered the basic principles of gardening it all became so much easier and much more enjoyable. This is what we want to share. Until now, we've been doing this via magazines, giving readers the rundown on gardening know-how, but the Internet means a wider readership and the opportunity for electronic conversations too, so we can all tap into the vast pool of gardening knowledge and expertise that's out there. After all, it's not for nothing that everyday British gardeners are held in awe by the rest of the world for their achievements around their homes.



You name it and we've probably written about it, or photographed it, or both. Plants and products; gardens, gardeners and gardening; garden centres, nurseries and flower shows; gardening as a hobby and for business. Our garden articles and photos have appeared in many UK magazines, including general and specialist titles, and in a couple of e-zines too (there's a list further on).


Meanwhile we've put our ideas into practice in plenty of gardens, having run our own garden design, landscaping and maintenance service for a number of years. Now we just concentrate on our own Cheshire garden, having given it a makeover to create a low maintenance haven for wildlife. The visiting birds, bees, frogs, newts, hedgehogs and butterflies seem to enjoy the facilities - and we do too.
