* London Borough of Bromley – I will travel outside the borough within a 3-mile radius.
About me:
I have been operating my garden services business as sole trader since 2010. I started gardening back in 1999, where I trained with a family firm.
Experience with elderly and vulnerable customers. I have worked in the Garden Therapy setting with a Horticultural charity in Battersea park - London called Thrive where I facilitated garden therapy sessions with people who were challenged with dementia and stroke and long-term illness.
I enjoy working with elderly /senior citizens as I find they are very knowledgeable about the process of gardening and the pace of nature. Because they have lived in their homes for a long period of time, they tend to be greatly informed about their plants and trees which lends a sense of familiarity and wise relationship to the garden and in turn the gardener!

I hold RHS level 2 and HNC in Garden Design from Hadlow College in Kent and have trained in Garden therapy with Thrive UK which is a horticultural therapy charity in the UK.
