We select species to suit the light, humidity and space you actually have, not the other way around. A plant chosen for the wrong spot rarely lasts — that’s wasted stock, wasted money, and a wasted plant. Getting this right at the start is the single biggest thing we do for sustainability.

All potting and repotting work uses peat-free soil. Peat bogs take centuries to form and store carbon for millennia — once dug up, that’s gone. It’s a small switch with an outsized impact, and it’s a non-negotiable in how we work.

Where practical, we use rainwater rather than tap water for care and maintenance visits — better for many plants, and a lower call on treated mains water.

Our Care Visits exist to keep plants healthy for years, not months. Regular attention — repotting at the right time, pest checks, feeding — is the difference between a plant that’s thrown out after a bad winter and one that’s still thriving five years on.

When clients travel, plants are too often left to fend for themselves, or abandoned altogether. Our boarding service means a change of routine doesn’t mean a dead plant — extending the life of the same plants your home is already suited to, rather than starting again.

For clients outside our usual travel radius — or anyone who’d simply rather not have us visit in person — a video consultation covers the same ground as an in-home visit: a questionnaire and room photos in place of what we’d normally assess on site, a video call room by room, and a written plan with recommendations and sourcing suggestions afterwards. Fewer road miles, same expert eye.

Based in Great Bookham, we cover Surrey and London within a comfortable driving radius, buying and working locally rather than shipping plants and materials long distances.

Two things matter equally to us: the environment, and the people behind what we use. Clients are always offered environmentally friendly options for pots, materials and accessories, and we care about where things come from — ethically sourced, not just attractively priced. We won’t pretend to have every answer, but it’s a standard we hold ourselves to on every project.
