A fresh perspective

Time to talk gardening
Plants, soil, pruning or seasonal interest. An opportunity to talk through their own garden and ask the questions they’ve always wanted to ask.

Buy an Online Consultation GiftThey’ll need an internet connection and a phone, tablet or computer suitable for a video call.
These gifts cover a consultation. Drawn garden designs and detailed planting plans are separate services, with no obligation to commission further work.
Rooted in their own garden
Advice that begins with what’s there.
Good gardening starts with understanding the space: the soil, the light, the exposure and the plants already growing.
Whether they want more colour, a calmer layout or less maintenance, our conversation will focus on their garden and what they want from it.

Simple to give. Easy to arrange.
You give the gift. They arrange their appointment.
1. Buy
Choose the garden visit or online consultation and purchase through my website. No appointment needs to be selected when buying.
2. Give
Download the voucher after purchase. Complete the To and From sections, and add the five numbers from your confirmation email after the printed IG on the Order No line. Print it or send it to the recipient.
3. Arrange
The recipient emails me with their IG order number. We arrange a mutually suitable appointment for Spring 2027 and discuss what they would like help with.
A few helpful answers.
Do they need to want a garden redesign?
No. The consultation can be about starting a garden, refreshing existing planting or simply asking questions and learning more about the garden they already have.
Where can the garden visit take place?
Within the Cork area. If you are unsure whether their garden is covered, please email me before purchasing. The online gift is available throughout Ireland.
Do I need to choose a date when buying?
No. The recipient contacts me afterwards, quoting their IG order number, and we agree a mutually suitable appointment for Spring 2027.
What is included in the follow-up report?
The garden visit includes a written report summarising my principal recommendations. A drawn design or detailed planting plan is a separate service. The online gift covers the one-hour consultation.
How does the online consultation work?
We arrange a one-hour video consultation. They share photographs beforehand and tell me what they would like to discuss. I’ll guide them on any further information needed.
Can I keep it a surprise?
Yes. The voucher is supplied to the buyer after purchase, so you decide when to give it. The recipient arranges their appointment afterwards.
