Planting and border design in Cheltenham
A border that looks good in June and bare by September usually just needs the right plants in the right places. We draw up a planting plan for your soil and light, buy the plants, and put them in.

What’s included
- A visit to look at your soil, light and how you use the garden
- A drawn planting plan you keep, with every plant named
- Plants bought from growers we trust, at what we pay for them
- Beds dug over, improved and planted
- Mulching, bulbs, and climbers trained in
- Aftercare notes, or we look after it on your regular visits
Best time of year
Planting in spring and autumn. Bare-root hedging and roses from November to March.

Good to know
- Nothing grows in my north-facing bed. Can you help?
- That's most of what a plan is for. Shade, clay and dry corners all have plants that do well in them. They're just not usually the ones in the garden centre's front row.
- Do I have to have the plan planted by you?
- No. Plenty of people take the plan and plant it themselves. It's yours either way.
