Thoughtful planting, designed to thrive.
Planting is at the heart of what we do. It’s where a garden truly comes to life and where thoughtful design meets long-term horticultural care. Our approach to planting is rooted in a deep understanding of plants, soil and aspect, allowing planting to establish well and thrive over time.
Carefully sourced, expertly supplied.
Where required, we can source and supply plants as part of the planting process. Plants are selected carefully for quality, size and suitability and handled with care from nursery to garden.
In some cases, landscape contractors or designers may prefer to source plants themselves. We are very happy to work in this way and to collaborate, planting from an agreed schedule where appropriate.
Planting with care and precision.
Planting is carried out with close attention to soil preparation and ground conditions. Protecting soil structure and health is always a key part of the conversation from the outset, as this is essential to long-term success.
Working alongside other designers and landscape contractors, we can set out from existing plans and plant from agreed schedules, ensuring the original intent of the planting plan and overall design vision is carried through on site.
Whether we are planting our own designs or working for other professionals, our focus remains the same: giving plants the best possible start so they can establish, grow and perform as intended. These principles naturally lead to more resilient, lower-maintenance and sustainable garden spaces.
“Don't just take our word for it”
Just to thank you for your excellent service and efforts on behalf of our garden. It is already giving us so much pleasure and Peter who has never taken gardening seriously shows it off to everyone who visits.
“Best service ever”
The planting is now complete and is incredible… The design, choice and positions of plants were all spot on… Overall, I could not be happier with both gardens and the efforts put in by PlantSmith are to be admired. I felt I was the important one and time was not an issue, a satisfied customer was the goal and it was achieved.
“Delighted with the results”
“The quality of the plants supplied were excellent and we were impressed by the attention given to ensuring it was not wasted on the planting… We would have no hesitation in recommending The PlantSmith for your garden designs.”
“Inspired designs”
“Really inspired design by Wendy. It is like moving to a new home without actually having to.”
“Attention to detail”
“We highly recommend The PlantSmith. We completely remodelled our garden recently and Wendy’s knowledge, advice, choice of plants and trees was excellent. Her attention to detail, planting and aftercare has given us a garden to be proud of.”
