Nice to meet you.

I'm an experienced Maidstone-based gardener. I'm very passionate about what I do and am able to help with a wide-range of garden-related jobs. You can read a little more about me below. I take on all sorts of tasks:
I consider both small and more long-term jobs. I'd love to hear from you. Please do get in touch. Thanks, Ann. |

More About MeI have been gardening for as long as I can remember, one of my first memories is sitting in my pushchair and being taken to my dad's allotment. We always had fresh vegetables from the garden and allotment and I fondly remember shelling peas in the sun for Sunday lunch. I'm at my most relaxed when outside getting my hands dirty and have always been lucky enough to live in a house with a garden.
In 2014 I decided to go back to college and study for my RHS level 2 in horticulture whilst still working. The following year I made the decision to focus on gardening full time after suffering a severe bout of depression. I left my job of 14 years and am now sharing my gardening experience with as many people as possible! Helping others to enjoy gardening is very important to me and I volunteer for Invole in Maidstone helping to clear and maintain gardens for the elderly and disabled and am also a Growing Buddy for Garden Organic, encouraging people to grow organic vegetables. I love both these roles. Outside of this I am still studying at Hadlow College.
