Our steep, unusable garden was transformed into a vibrant, functional space full of colour and life. Previously inaccessible areas are now connected by steps, terraces, and a hoggin pathway, making every inch more enjoyable. Tim combines precision with a laid-back, dedicated approach, making him a pleasure to work with. His passion for planting is contagious, and we hope to find another large garden for him to work his magic on in the future.
