Why a year changes everything

A single meeting can produce a great deal of useful advice, but gardens keep moving. Light, soil, growth, flowering, pruning windows and maintenance priorities change through the seasons. Regular guidance lets you act when the timing is right, review what happened and make the next decision with better evidence.

The Year-Long Garden Guide Programme Programme Programme starts from £1,500 for a 12-month commitment. Any monthly payment option is a payment plan for that commitment, not a cancel-any-time subscription. The aim is to shape a practical programme around your garden, your confidence and the level of support that will make the biggest difference.

Payment plan at a glance

Total programme price: from £1,500
£300 deposit, then 12 monthly payments of £100.
The deposit and all 12 instalments form one fixed 12-month commitment. Statutory cancellation rights still apply. Read the full terms and conditions.

Proposed programme

  • Initial garden assessment
  • A personalised 12-month garden plan
  • Five further seasonal visits across the year, roughly every two months and timed around what the garden needs
  • Reasonable between-visit email, WhatsApp or telephone support for short questions and photographs, with a response aim of within two working days
  • Additional video calls or longer telephone calls available as separately priced bolt-ons
  • Plant selection and positioning advice
  • Seasonal maintenance guidance and progress reviews
  • Priority access and preferential rates for agreed additional work
  • A final review and outline for the following year

Every garden is different, so the final programme is agreed after an initial conversation. Tony will confirm the most useful visit rhythm, follow-up format and practical next steps before any booking is made.

Who it is for

This service is designed for homeowners who want to stay involved, learn how their garden works and make steady progress without handing every decision to somebody else. It is particularly valuable after moving home, during a garden revival, following a new design or when long-term maintenance needs are changing.
