What's involved
Getting lots of flowers in your garden may be easier than you think. I can get more flowers in your outdoor space thanks to inside knowledge of the plant world and plants’ natural ability to reproduce readily.
At the right time of year I'm happy to take cuttings of your favourite flowers and plant these cuttings separately to create lots of baby plants with the potential to flourish.
I also love to lift leafy plants out of the ground in autumn, separate the plants into sections (know as division), then pop them in different parts of the garden to maximum effect.

How we work
Spring
Spring's the time of year to sow seeds and take softwood cuttings to create more of your favourite flowers, cheaper and more efficiently. You'll see me with secateurs and a small bag ready to collect cuttings.
Summer
Once summer arrives I can take more cuttings for more plants, including fuchsias and a whole range of flowering annuals. Seed-sown plants are ready to pop in the garden now too.
Autumn
Autumn arrives and many perennials are ready to be lifted out of the ground, cleaned up and split into sections. Splitting perennials helps you fill more spaces in your flower beds. Saves you money too!
Winter
You can save little cuttings from the coldest weather with a little heat from the greenhouse or on a windowsill in the kitchen. Winter’s also an excellent time to take stock and plan for next year plant displays.
