Gardeners In Shropshire | Online Garden Designer

Hi, I’m Floyd. I have been a professional gardener in the UK for over 30 years. I am currently based in Shropshire, working as a horticulturist for private individuals and businesses. In addition to my work as a landscape gardener, I offer garden advice (in-person and online) and 3D garden design.

I am sensitive to the needs of the environment and consider it a real privilege to work with my customers to deliver real gardening.

I am lucky to have gained such varied experience through my work as a landscape gardener. I believe this sets me apart from other online garden designers as I have a deep understanding of the needs of the soil, plants, and wider ecosystem, and can bring this knowledge to the table even when designing remotely.

Real gardening

My gardening career started at the Sutton Place Estate in Surrey where I learned from some of the best horticulturists and landscape gardeners in the UK. Over the years, I have grown into a Real Gardener and take much pride in the projects I’ve been lucky enough to work on. My gardening now takes a holistic approach, ensuring I garden for both people and planet.

"Floyd has a huge knowledge of all facets of our commercial garden. Incredibly helpful and always willing to offer advice as to the best practice. Very experienced and a thoroughly decent person to work with. A very very happy client of many years."

 

– The Owner at The Castle Hotel, Bishop’s Castle

"Floyd has worked for us for a couple of years in our large Shropshire garden. He has worked wonders, particularly on observing and enhancing the sensitive relationship between the cultivated garden near the house and the wilder parts beyond. He is also not shy of heavy labour and can transform a mess into a haven in the blink of an eye. His approach is a perfect blend of artistry and practicality. Thoroughly recommended."

 

– Mark and Frances

"Floyd is a professional horticulturalist who is passionate about his work. He’s knowledgeable and hardworking and is making a big impact on our mature garden, moving plants for best impact and giving invaluable advice. I’m very fortunate to have found him. He really is A Real Gardener."

 

– Pam & John

Outdoor musings

While I’m out gardening, I love to note down weird and wonderful plants I see throughout the day. I enjoy researching and writing about what I discover, and sharing this through my blog. It helps me to think about garden advice I could offer, including tips and planting ideas. Feel free to send me requests for new posts!
