Garden Regeneration is a female-owned gardening business established in 2017 and based in Mid Sussex, specialising in the long-term maintenance and restoration of gardens.
I balance each client’s vision with the health of plants, soil, and local wildlife, creating gardens that feel naturalistic yet professionally finished.
Running my own business means also balancing finance, marketing, and customer service alongside my gardening work. Fortunately, my client base continues to grow from strength to strength, largely through recommendations and word of mouth so I can spend more time in the garden and less time marketing!
I hold RHS Level 2 horticultural qualifications from Plumpton College and continue to develop my practice through experience and further training. My work often includes planting design, soil improvement, and sustainable garden management, with particular interests in wildlife-friendly gardening, composting, fruit tree care, propagation, climbers, and gardening for wellbeing.
As a sole trader, I mainly work independently and enjoy the full creativity and focus this allows, but I also remain open to collaborative projects and I am so grateful for all the connections made through this incredible profession. I am a registered member of The Gardeners’ Guild and an active participant in professional gardening networks.
My background prior to horticulture includes work across the charitable, healthcare, and educational publishing sectors, both in the UK and internationally. I have strong connections with West, East, and Southern Africa, where my love of nature and the outdoors first took root.
I hold both BSc (Hons) and MSc degrees, and bring experience in teaching and training to my work, enjoying the sharing of knowledge when I can.
At home, I manage a thriving micro-orchard, growing a range of fruit including grape (Regent), fig (Brown Turkey), pear (Conference), plum (Victoria), heritage and modern apple varieties (Bramley, Fiesta, Orleans Reinette, Ashmead’s Kernel, Sussex Forge), peach (Ice), cherry (Stella) and citrus (lemon and mandarin). I am hooked!
