Create a Beautiful Garden That Works With Nature

Expert, independent advice to help you design, plant and manage a wildlife-rich garden that thrives naturally. With over 40 years’ experience in ecological gardening in North East Scotland, I provide personalised, planting-led guidance that saves you time, avoids costly mistakes and delivers lasting results—for both you and wildlife.

What I Do

My consultancy focuses on planting-led design and habitat creation, rather than rigid plans or drawings.

I advise on:

• Wildlife-friendly planting schemes tailored to your site
• Creating and managing habitats such as ponds, wildflower meadows, woodland edges, log piles and compost areas
• Improving soil health, planting resilience and ecological function
• Ethical, low-input maintenance for long-term success rather than producing formal layouts,
• Connect garden features through thoughtful planting, creating a cohesive, living garden that supports birds, insects and other wildlife, including micro-organisms while reflecting your personal aesthetic.

Why Choose a Garden Consultant?

Many people search for a garden designer, landscape architect or landscaper when what they really need is clear, expert guidance before costly decisions are made.

Garden designers and chartered landscape architects are well suited to large-scale or highly engineered projects, but their services often involve significant upfront costs before any planting begins.

As an independent garden consultant, I offer:

• Unbiased, experience-based advice
• Specialist knowledge of wildlife-focused planting
• Practical solutions tailored to your garden and budget
• Ongoing mentoring and support as your garden develops 

Professional Experience

I have provided ecological garden consultancy for private clients and organisations including:
