A knowing pair of helping hands for the garden you love.

I'm Maddy, a qualified horticulturist. I'm not a mow-and-go crew: I listen, take real care, and look after your garden the way you'd want it done.

My story

A little bit about me.

Photo: Nana Joy's garden
A photo from Nana Joy's garden in its heyday (faces can be cropped). The garden that started all of this.

I started my business after I saw my Nana Joy disappointed with the assistance she received as she aged and could no longer take care of her pride and joy and life's work, her beautiful garden. She had people who knew how to mow lawns, but no expertise or love for horticulture or plants.

In the past few years I've studied horticulture and built a small business providing garden maintenance, weeding, pruning, planting and clean-ups. I'm also happy to help with repotting indoor plants, or even tidying up your potting station.

I'm now looking to expand this, and would love to provide others with the assistance my Nana Joy sought but could not find in her later years.

The help my Nana Joy always wished she'd had.
What I do

Thoughtful garden care, grounded in real horticultural knowledge.

Whatever your garden needs, here's how I can help, one-off or ongoing.

Garden care & upkeep

Weeding, pruning, mulching and seasonal tidying to keep your beds healthy and looking their best.

Garden clean-ups

Overgrown or neglected gardens brought back to life, carefully and without a heavy hand.

Planting & horticulture

The right plant in the right place, planted well, with advice you can trust on what will thrive.

Veggie & herb gardens

Productive veggie patches and herb gardens, planted and kept healthy so you can enjoy what you grow.

Indoor plants & potting

Repotting your indoor plants, and tidying up your potting station so it's ready for next time.

A little extra

Happy to lend a hand with the odd job too, like tidying up a patio around your garden.
