Five peas in my hand

A helping hand in your garden

I have 35 years experience as a teacher, and a similar amount of time growing my own vegetables.

As well as helping you to grow your own veg, I am available for more general gardening work. I offer flexible packages to suit your needs, charging £10 per hour up to 4 hours for most work with discount available for longer bookings.

See the Gallery for examples of my work and customer reviews. Contact me to explore how I might offer you a helping hand with your garden. Please note that as of May 2016 I am pretty much at capacity and am unlikely to be able to take on any new customers.

Why you should grow your own veg

  1. To eat fresh-picked and super-tasty vegetables
  2. To save money and make your 5ps go a long way. Use this cost calculator to show you how this can be almost cost-free food once you are doing this yourself
  3. To go green with not many food miles involved, and organic can be easy as well as beneficial in so many ways
  4. For your health both physical and mental, and you can grow your own 5-a-day
  5. For enjoyment as you will (come to) love it all!
