About The Neighbourhood Gardener
Happy Gardens, Happy Homes, Happy Neighbourhoods
A garden isn’t just an outdoor space - it’s part of everyday life. It’s where you start the morning with a coffee, where kids let off steam, where herbs are picked fresh for dinner, and where friends gather for long summer evenings. A well-loved garden makes a home feel more inviting, more lived-in, more you. And when gardens thrive, so do neighbourhoods - greener streets, friendlier chats over the fence, and a sense that we’re all connected by the spaces we share.
That’s what The Neighbourhood Gardener is all about. Creating gardens that fit into real life - whether that means a space to grow food, a peaceful retreat, or simply a place that looks good with minimal fuss. Gardens that work for you, not the other way around.
My love of gardening started young. My dad mowing the lawn, my mum pruning a passion flower - I was always outside, getting my hands in the soil. Our garden was the heart of our home, where the kids played, the adults caught up, and everything felt a little easier with the sun on our faces.
Years later, that passion has turned into experience. I’ve worked across countryside properties, urban gardens, community spaces. Trained and honed my skills in garden design, maintenance, and planting for every type of space.
Now, through The Neighbourhood Gardener, I’m bringing that experience to you. Whether you need a full refresh, regular maintenance, or just a little help getting summer-ready, I’ll make sure your garden works for your home and your lifestyle.
Let’s make your outdoor space something special—practical, beautiful, and a natural part of daily life.

Testimonials
What my Clients Say
"I cannot recommend Charlie highly enough - she is friendly, great at communicating and completely transformed our garden from the space it used to be. And we've only just begun!
Charlie listened to our brief, knew that we wanted something low maintenance and also a space that would be a work in progress until we could finish our renovation. She sent us designs and lists of plants to review and made tweaks to ensure it did what we needed it to do.
What I really liked was that she worked with what we already had in the space to save money and keep plants/trees that we wanted to remain. She pruned the pear tree, the olive tree and a very out of control rose bush.
We were lucky to get a cancellation spot and in a really short time she's made it look so much better. She works really hard, keeps you regularly updated on deliveries, handles all of the purchasing and materials aspects herself and was priced really competitively for the high quality service she provides.
Now that we've had the garden transformed we'll be relying on Charlie's maintenance service to keep it in tip top shape."

What my Clients Say
We are delighted with the work Charlie at the Neighbourhood Gardener did for us. She gave us lots of support with our garden - initially coming round for a consultation and she was very proactive in finding out what we want from our garden and how she can help make it work for us.
She was also very supportive in sharing advice, tips and was able to answer any questions we had. We were amazed when she finished the initial pruning/tidy on the garden, and the difference it made.
She took great care and attention and understood our vision for the planting and we loved the final design she pulled together. We are so thankful for the work she has done and it has brought us so much pleasure with our garden.
We had great trust in her throughout and she treated our garden and home with great respect and care.

What my Clients Say
"I would like to sincerely recommend Charlie's gardening services. She helped me planting up a white garden, sourcing plants and bulbs giving me all year interest. After the first 2 years I got bored with the white theme and with a lot of patience on her part, she introduced new colours into my garden which I now love. I highly recommend The Neighbourhood Gardener."
