Garden Displays Ltd

Planting for Wildlife Consultancy

Customer Reviews

Our garden was plain lawn surrounded by a fence and we wanted to add flower beds with treees and plants. All the companies we contacted offered hard landscaping or garden maintenance, but this was not what we wanted. Once we found Garden Displays Ltd we got what we were looking for and more.

Over several visits John talked us through the options for preparing and planting our garden before we settled on a design, beds and plants. John prepared the ground and selected the appropriate flowers and shrubs based on our vague ideas of colour and appearance. Oun new garden looks fantastic thanks to John's expert knowledge and hard work. We would not hesitate to recommend Garden Displays Ltd.

Thanks for a fantastic job on my mum's garden. We are delighted with the end product and appreciate how hard you worked to get it done as quickly as possible. Professional service throughout.

Fiona & Brian Stewart, Perth


Gardeners who come and scratch the soil and take out a few weeds are 10-a-penny. We wanted to find someone different. Someone who had in-depth knowledge of plants and treesand where and how they grow. We wanted soomeone who could provide the best advice possible on what would thrivein our garden. We found all these qualities and more in John Gordon. John is truly an expert in all aspects of gardening. He is someone you can trust implicitly to do an excellent job. He has transformed our garden with very thoughtful and imaginative plantings. We now have a garden with the wow-factor - thanks entirely to John's efforts.

David & June Browne, Dundee


John is a real gardener. He has a passion for plants and expertly positions them in your garden in such a way that both they and you are very happy.

P. Manson, Auchterarder


John, thank you once again for your vision and hard work at transforming my border today. I cannot believe how much you managed to do in one day and the garden was left so tidy you would not have known that anyone had been in!

I am absolutely delighted with the work and appreciative of all the advice on plants and planting schemes, which came at no extra charge!!! I cannot wait to start planning the rest of the shrubs and summer perennials.

Mrs Vee Smith, Dollar


John has advised us on a consultancy basis on various resilience planting projects around the university campus. I have no hesitation in recommending John as hard working, conscientious and knowledgeable plantsman.

Steven Douglas, Coordinator, University of Dundee Botanic Gardens


John has enabled us to continue to enjoy our garden without the effort of maintenance. His advice and design skill have proved invaluable in increasing the variety of plants and improving the layout.

John continues to support TLC Environmental Ltd as a horticultural planting consultant. His passion and for eco-friendly practices, biodiversity, sustainability and resilience planting is reflected in the contribution he makes to our service expertise demanded by our clients.

Keith Lando Vernon, Director, TLC Environmental Ltd, Chartered Landscape Architects


We discovered John's website by chance. We were looking for inspiration to liven up our garden. We are delighted with the results after a two day visit in which he transformed part of the garden with design and planting ideas. He not only worked extremely hard but was very knowledgable and keen to pass on lots of good advice. We are looking forward to his next visit.

Margaret & Gordon Dundas, Arbroath


John is great - he is easy to get along with and has a very strong work ethic. John really knows his plants and how to care for them - we'd trust him to get the best out of any garden!

Ian & Emma Ganley, Knapp


We were so impressed with John's work in my mother's garden in Broughty Ferry that we invited him down to Edinburgh to look at our garden. His choice of plants transformed out front garden from a congested mess into a really colourful display throughout the Spring and Summer. He's now working on our back garden and we're looking forward to seeing how that improves for next Spring.

Gill & Murry Steele, Edinburgh


I have had John's help in the garden for some years now. I have found him to be completely reliable, meticulous and scrupulous about pricing. He gets through an astonishing amount of work in a given time and is worth every penny. I wish I had known about him when I was setting up this garden, it would have been much better planned and executed.

Mrs Janet Mair, Monifieth


Hi John, Thanks again for more excellent work. The plants you recommended and planted for me are establishing well and the 'Scottish' area is drawing lots of interest.

Dr Bill Mutch, Monifieth


John - Good to see you today and many thanks for all your efforts in our garden. The place is immaculate as always - we really appreciate that.

Andrew & Thelma McInroy, Broughty Ferry


John’s wealth of knowledge of plants and their requirements means he knows exactly what he’s doing-and then does it on time and in budget. Would highly recommended Garden Displays Ltd.

Kerry McAree Auchterarder


We were recommended John by a friend and have been delighted with what he has done. He has been here for several days, transforming a dull, unloved garden into a colourful interesting place to be again.

John works very hard and achieves an awfull lot in a few hours. He is extremely knowledgeable about plants and planting and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

John & Anne Lyburn, Angus


John's knowledge about plants and gardens is phenomenal. I am so thrilled with how he has developed the garden. He has transformed it from a wilderness to an eco friendly habitat for bugs and beasties, yet its wonderful to look at. John takes time to work out what you want, eg. I am red/green colour blind and he sourced the plants I could see. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dr Jill Belch, Scone


Just a note to say I am very pleased with the work done in my garden. It is looking much better. I will see you in the spring for the planting out we discussed.

Dr F McGrory, Broughty Ferry


I don't know what my garden would look like without John's regular maintenance as well as more occasional removal or shifting of plants. Whenever John has been in my garden, however short a time, I know he has been and done everything that needs done without a word from me. His understanding of what looks best in any given spot is second to none, so I defer to his great knowledge of plants and planting combinations. Undoubtedly John is the best gardener I have ever come across.

Mrs F Kempton, Drumoig
