Garden Doctor Service by Nick Turrell   

Some of you may remember last year, I set up a Garden Doctor service.  During my visits I came across all sorts of garden problems and met some lovely people.  So, I’ve decided to offer the same service again this year.

Visiting a garden centre these days is not how it used to be.  Back then if you needed advice there were knowledgeable staff on hand to help.  But now some garden centres are more interested in coffee shops than plants...

So, who do you turn to for expert advice?  There’s only so much Google can do to help.  Every garden has a different set of conditions, and consequently they need individual advice.  This is where the Garden Doctor can help.  

I’ll visit your garden, chat about the issues, and then write you a ‘prescription’.  You can take this to your garden centre to get what you need; I’ll even make sure they can read my handwriting! 

Whether you need help choosing suitable plants for tricky areas, you’d like some expert design ideas or maybe your garden just needs livening up, you can book either a 30-minute or 1-hour appointment.  So, the next time you visit your garden centre you can tell them what you want rather than relying on them to tell you.
