Garden Help Scotland Ltd pruning, planting and organic weeding specialists

Garden Help Scotland Ltd specialises in pruning, planting and organic weeding. T.

This niche has enormous potential as many people with gardens find little time to tend and nurture them.

The company was established in August 2013 at a time when designers were putting in gardens but never returning to see if shrubs were overcrowding one another or bare patches had appeared and been taking over by invasive weeds like ground elder and creeping buttercup.

Olivia discovered many older clients who had tended their gardens for decades but were now less able. By listening carefully, she learned that a bespoke service was necessary not only to satisfy the client but to serve the particular microclimate of each garden.

Where a garden already has a lawn service and perhaps someone growing fruit and vegetales Garden Help Scotland Ltd can focus on the beauty creating colour through all seasons, so important in Scotland. Winter is an important time to get on top of a garden so work continues throughout the year.

8 years on the business has proved flexible for her own family as Olivia's children completed primary education. Demand continues to grow as lockdowns have caused people to reconsider shrubberies and flowerbeds after years of commuting. The company has recruited freelance gardeners to cope with demand and it is ready to scale up and expand or indeed franchise if so desired.
