About Plants & Place
Hello, I'm Alex
I want to help you realise the potential in your garden without you feeling overwhelmed. Whether you want a brief consultation, a full re-design or to come and learn some gardening techniques, I'd love to hear from you. Together we can create a beautiful space that is in tune with nature and with you.
My own horticultural journey began with a deep-rooted love for plants and landscapes. I trained at Sparsholt College achieving RHS Level 3, where I also had the pleasure of being part of the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show Gold winning team. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Horticulture and over the past decade I have taken on a wide range of projects, for both private and commercial clients, with an emphasis on seasonal and sustainable gardens.
My interests take me beyond my own the garden gate and I visit many inspirational and beautiful properties in my role as the South Wiltshire County Organiser for the National Garden Scheme (NGS), while on my travels I love collecting unusual vintage pots and planters, finding just the right thing for a particular spot and filling them with eye-catching plant combinations.
