Marian came to work in our largish garden in June 2017. Our garden was very overgrown. My husband and I had given up and had ignored it for years as we really didn’t know very much about plants or gardening apart from cutting the grass.
Eight months on and we can’t stop grinning every time we catch a glimpse of the garden. Marian has, in her quiet way, gone about the task of transforming our garden with skill, knowledge born of experience and determination. We are taking a pride in our garden and cannot wait for the spring growth.
The amazing thing about Marian is that she doesn’t push any ideas, just gently offers suggestions and is happy with whatever you decide. You will inevitably decide to go with her suggestions because you know they will work in your garden.
Marian listens to people and gears her work to accommodate her clients wishes so they get the look and feel that they want. For instance, we have a lot of trees and we wanted to retain a woodland type semi-wild appearance in one part of the garden and she dealt with the area very sensitively.
She is a wonderful person. I don’t want to embarrass her, but her honesty, humanity, skill and hard work are exemplary.
A fantastic gardener – we wouldn’t be without her!
