Rachel Hope
I've been gardening as a professional for over 20 years, principally in large country gardens. I live in rural Gloucestershire on a working farm with my husband and daughter. I have my own extensive gardens which I am developing.

​
Ethos
​
I treat your garden as if it were my own. I like to work closely with clients to understand their personal style and needs because I believe that a garden should reflect the owner's personality. I focus on keeping regular maintenance up-to-date alongside adding new plant material. All gardens evolve as they mature so I can help with design ideas for areas that need renovation.
​
Useful info
​
I use my own equipment but access to compost heaps and wheelbarrows can help speed things up!
I'm afraid I don't undertake lawn-mowing, hedge-cutting or tree surgery work but can advise on excellent local contractors.
