Based in Angus,  I am member of the Royal Horticultural Society supporting the RHS Sustainability Strategy and Plantlife. With over 40 years qualified experience in both horticulture and ecology I offer an  garden consultancy, specialising in advising on eco-concious practices, mentoring as well as providing a hands on service to create, maintain and further develop planting schemes based on structural biodiversity which benefits and encourages local wildlife. 

I am experienced in the plants best suited for the climatic and soil conditions of both inland and the coastal located gardens of North East Scotland.  I can teach you successful easy composting  and the importance of understanding and developing the the soil food web within your garden inturn maximisng plant health and garden wildlife biodiversity. Projects have primarily been undertaken in Angus, Dundee, Perth and Fife but also Aberdeen and Edinburgh. 

My Eco-Book page is intended as a dip in resource for anyone wishing to gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of both garden & landscape ecology and biodiversity but also how it all fits in from an evolutionary context.

Engaging the services of a qualified and experienced horticultural consultant for even a few hours for advice and suggestions with a follow up report on the discussion answering your questions is a cost effective way to plan, get good ideas, avoid mistakes and learn about creating and maintaing your nature friendly garden.  It is a much cheaper option than engaging a garden designer or landscape architect.

Whether you are looking for hands on help, face to face mentoring or a guiding consultancy to make your garden more nature friendly  through sustainable planting habitat creation, I have the knowledge and experience to help you realise your aim, saving you time, effort and money.
