Garden landscape

From garden consultation, planting plans for beds & borders, to full garden design, I can help you at any stage of your garden journey.

The Areas I Cover

I cover the whole of Dartmoor Area and anywhere within an hour's drive from my base at Brentor, including Tavistock, Yelverton, Plymouth, Okehampton, Ashburton, Buckfastleigh and Launceston.

I am also happy to travel further afield but may have to charge additional travel costs. I can also do planting plans from photos or videos of the space if needed.

Emma has been a dream to work with. From the outset, she was proactive in asking lots of questions to ensure she fully understood our preferences, and she even went the extra mile by sending pictures to get a clear idea of the plants we liked and the style of planting we were aiming for. Emma presented several thoughtful and creative ideas, demonstrating a deep and impressive knowledge of plants. Her ability to source all the plants we needed was outstanding, and her communication throughout the process was excellent. She kept us well-informed and was always quick to respond to any queries. Thank you for all your ideas and support Emma, it was wonderful working with you, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the results through the year.
