Garden Maintenance, Design and Creation
For anyone who is looking to either transform their garden space and for those who wish to keep their garden maintained, then this is for you.
If you require a space that is more detail and are looking to be more self-sufficient please go to the next section on Permaculture Design & Soil Regeneration. Of course you can choose to have aspects of both incorporated into your garden space.
Here at Sow & Grow, we believe that a garden is to be enjoyed by the senses. A space to unwind, relax and destress within nature.
We can create that space for you to enjoy with your friends and family throughout the seasons. Even throughout the winter months, there can always be something going on in the garden.
As well as common garden maintenance tasks like, weeding, pruning, hedge trimming and lawn care, we also offer services to transform your garden. Bespoke garden furniture, raised beds, edible landscapes and herb gardens can all be part of a garden design.
Would you enjoy picking your own herbs from the garden for dinner, or perhaps some tasty greens like Spinach and Pak Choy, or even some succulent tomatoes and delicious beans and peas.
Or would you just like to enjoy the bulbs coming up in early spring and the flowering shrubs and common ornamentals, with their dazzling colours and fragrances?
I have years of experience, working on estates and gardens helping people to create the spaces that they can enjoy throughout the year.
Reasons to plant a garden:
- Great activity for the family
- Beneficial for mental and physical health
- Growing herbs, vegetables and fruit is a lot cheaper than buying from a shop, or farm
- Brings a sense of overall wellbeing and fulfilment
- By growing a garden you can help nature thrive, creating a space for pollinators and birds, hedgehogs and frogs.
There is a new Gardening Revolution happening, why not be part of it.

All the best
Sow & Grow Regenerative
Permaculture Design & Regenerative Soil Remediation
Are you looking to transform your garden space, allotment or even a smallholding, using holistic practices which combine self-sufficiency with connecting with nature? Then this is for you.
From raised beds to hügelkulturs, container gardens to food forests- I design integrated edible ecosystems that are regenerative, abundant and healthy-Providing holistic designs to help you create cyclical closed loop systems: including water management, composting methods, biological inputs, planting systems, soil health management, remediation & much more. I can teach you the design principles that will create the pathway to self-resilience and abundance.
Everything starts with the soil. When we create strong and resilient foundations, then anything built on that will benefit. Soil regeneration is about a multi-faceted approach. The physical, biological, chemical and electrical components of the soil need to work synergistically. The plants along with the soil life use the natural elements to build strong and resistant systems. Bio-diversity is key to resilience, abundance and health.
Creating natural cycles, facilitates a natural reduction and eventual elimination of inputs, just like a woodland or forest, once established will require very little work. Building buffers in the soil protects against climatic changes and generating robust soil biology enables plants to become resistant against attacks from disease and pests.
Growing with our food allows us to become part of nature. (As far as I am aware there are no drawbacks from learning how to live a regenerative life.)
Even the time we invest in learning brings us benefits, multiple times the investment we make.
Tailored Services
Regenerative Permaculture & Soil Remediation Tailored Services
I use my knowledge of Permaculture, Soil Regeneration, my experience in mentoring and facilitation as well as my research on current & historical socio-economic and climatic changes to create a tailored plan. Creating a resilient and abundant ecosystem, a healthy and adaptive mindset and a holistic lens will enable you to mitigating against climatic changes and socio-economic uncertainty.
My goal is to equip you with the knowledge of how these systems work, so you can become self-reliant, building skills and the mindset that will enable you to overcome obstacles and create a solutions based perspective. I can teach you about Permaculture Principles and and Regenerative Soil techniques and most importantly how these relate to natural cycles and patterns that are found throughout nature from the microcosm to the macrocosm.
Site Design includes consultation, advice, soil sampling and site observation visits. Observation is a key element of design and as much information and knowledge of the site is needed before this can take place.
Soil Remediation Plans are context specific and are adapted to your individual needs and desires. Soil is the foundation of all ecosystems. In fact without soil, all life would not exist. I consider healthy soil to be the lynchpin of healthy animals and humans. Building great soil will make the difference to your plants and animals. It is an integral component to creating the natural cycle that exists in all environments on Earth.
I will work with you to create a design that is uniquely adapted and contextually appropriate for your climate and personal circumstances. I offer advice and consultation on holistic food production, increasing soil health and creating abundant bio-diverse systems. Using the permaculture framework and regenerative techniques you will be able to understand how to form synergistic relationships with your plants, land and animals which will lead to you being able to regenerate your eco system and protect what is most important to you.
This is a uniquely tailored service, with many dynamics depending on your present context and your future vision. Please contact me to find out how I can help you achieve your goals.
Soil testing and Analysis
Soil testing is essential to establish exactly what is happening in your soil and plants. Without this there is very little room to create what you want and the chance of making a big mistake is high. Because of the way soils have been treated over the past 100 years we need to do everything we can to remediate and testing is the start of remediation
This will include-aggregate, Ph, plant sap analysis, plant tissue, fauna, mineral, saturated paste, microscopy, flora and brix testing. This would be a nominal amount of £200 for a site visit and would be in addition to the cost of the tests. They range from £25-60 per sample.
Once the reports come back to me I can interpret them and determine the course of remediation and regeneration actions that suit your context and budget.
