Secret Gardens
is a small landscaping business based in Mid-Sussex.
Having been
made redundant in 1990 from a management job I decided to see if
I could turn a hobby into a career. I have a diploma in organic
gardening and in landscape design. Over the years I have worked
with the designers Hilary Ivey and Ruth Palmer. I also helped Kate
Buxton create a silver medal winning garden at Hampton Court Flower
Show.
I do a small amount of
desigh work which, for an average plot I charge £125 for a
sketch plan – this I will credit against any subsequent landscaping
work on the design. The initial visit is free.
I can also do advice
visits to your garden which are charged at £25 for the first
hour and £20 per hour for subsequent hours.
