Katrina Luan
Neil has completely transformed our garden within a matter of weeks. He works extremely hard and achieves a lot within a short space of time. It is always exciting to come home from work and see how much has been done. He has lots of creative and innovative ideas and we are very excited about his plans for our wildlife garden in memory of our beloved dog, Brodie. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love working outdoors, getting my hands dirty and helping people create gardens that are beautiful, colourful and refelective of what each of my customers want from their ourdoor space. As a huge lover of wildlife, particularly butterflies, and I'm always delighted when my customers want to create areas within their gardens that are attractive to wildlife. I'm also happy to provide a general garden maintenance service too, any time in a garden is good time to me!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've worked in the conservation sector for over 10 years for two fantastic UK wildlife conservation charities, Butterfly Conservation and the RSPB. It's been an enormous pleasure learning about and putting into practice ideas to promote the protection and conservation of wildlife throughout the UK and beyond. I'm now combining my interest in wildlife and gardening to offer a wildlife-friendly gardening service in my home county of Fife.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm a hardworking, reliable and collaborative gardener. My aim is to work with you to create the space you want, whether it's just a bit of tidying or a complete overhall, or anything in between.
