The wonder garden
Let’s work our magic in your garden.
The Wonder Garden is a new way to confidently buy plants for your flowerbeds in a selection of styles, delivered to your door with a bespoke plan designed to match your space, including simplified aftercare instructions.
Are your flower beds looking a bit underwhelming?
We know, it’s not easy to get all the plants in your garden working together in harmony. Trial and error can be costly and frustrating, leaving you with long seasons where there is no colour, fragrance or anything much to look forward to at all.
How it works.
1. book a consultation
A chance for John Foley, our nursery owner and highly experienced horticulturalist, to meet at your outdoor space to discuss your dream garden.
£100 initial fee.
This will then be deducted from your final design, plants, and delivery.
2. UNDERSTAND YOUR GARDEN
An in-depth consultation will allow John to understand your aspects, soil type/s, ideas and style preferences, before he advises what will work and thrive in your space. Measurements will be taken, a rough plan drawn up, and proposed costings explained.
3. JOIN US AT THE NURSERY
An opportunity to meet with us at Holden Clough to go over your personalised plant choices and style options, from our Frameyard & Wonder Garden area to our Growing Field, allowing you a real feel and sense of your proposed design.
4. your BESPOKE DEsIGN
We will then design a scheme to match your specific conditions, in your chosen style, with all the plants thoughtfully hand-picked from our Nursery.
5. Your plants arrive
Your plants will be carefully packed, delivered to your space and then laid out in their set places, matching your personal design scheme. You’ll also receive a planting plan, maintenance, and aftercare guides.
6. it’s time to garden
Now for the fun part, getting your hands dirty and popping your plants in the ground where we have placed them. You can, of course, get someone else to do this, but we think planting is good for the mind, body and soul!
Then sit back, watch them flourish, and enjoy your new Wonder Garden!
It’s time to add some wonder.
The Wonder Garden is a new way for you to confidently create the flower beds and garden borders of your dreams.
After a consultation with John Foley, we’ll design a planting scheme that suits your space, your growing conditions, and your style. We’ll then personally deliver and set out your plants, exactly where they need to be. All you need to do is plant them and care for them, with the easy-to-follow aftercare guides provided.
You’ll then enjoy an inspiring garden that’s full of interest, colour and wonder, season after season.
