His robust planting schemes are all designed to suit existing growing conditions, creating thriving plant communities that are beneficial to both wildlife and the gardener - requiring relatively little maintenance for maximum effect.

A superb, well laid-out and well maintained garden, with so many interesting features. Extensive use of grasses throughout. Comprehensive plant sales area at competitive prices. An essential and rewarding visit!
My delivery came yesterday, really really impressed with the size and quality of the plants, will be ordering many many more. Thank you for great service and plants.
This is a fabulous garden - no its a "must see" garden - packed with wonderful plants (grasses, shrubs, trees and perennials) and put together in such a wonderful natural way.
