the Auntie Planty experience

We had our back garden redesigned about 15 months ago and suddenly realised that we didn't know enough about the on-going up keep to ensure it looked great all year round...that's where Aunty Planty came in!

Valerie is excellent at understanding what look we wanted to achieve and teaching/training us in how to get it. Her fantastic knowledge of plants and how they will look (especially when they grow!), coupled with her lovely sense of humour has been perfect for us.

She visits us approximately once every few months to help us prepare for the upcoming season - everyone comments on how great the garden looks and a huge part of that is down to Valerie/Auntie Planty.

Part garden designer, part hands on gardener, part trouble shooter. Did a great job with a very difficult wisteria. Also has given me excellent advice and help with the rest of the garden.

A local gardening centre recommended her to me saying that can sort any problem or save any plant, that's been true.

My daughter presented me with a 3-hour Auntie Planty gift voucher for my birthday, to ensure that I would get out into the garden and start enjoying the plants before the garden ran completely wild.

During my voucher time with Valerie, we planted up more than 30 different roses, we discussed proper pruning for other plants, we identified several plant pest problems and she offered effective remedies, we talked about appropriate climbing frames for clematis and other climbers and she gave me some wonderfully colourful ideas for me to develop in the coming months.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her, I learnt a lot about proper care for my plants, it was good fun and her down to earth approach has given me inspiration to get gardening. I look forward to another session in the spring.
