Tasha took a real interest in what we wanted from the garden and what seemed possible. She produced an excellent design, managed the ordering of the plants and given advice on the planting at long distance. She has continued to be in contact and genuinely interested in the progress of the garden as it matures providing guidance and suggestions regarding any failing plants. More...

Had the pleasure of working with Tasha at Ginkgo Consultancy on my new build garden which was just grass and very overlooked and sad .
Tasha has completed for us design , worked with us at every stage and explained the plants chosen , process and most importantly stayed in budget ! In addition to this she planted the trees and plants which helped us enormously and we also learned a lot from Tasha .
Now I have a beautiful garden with trees and different plants that are thriving ready to enjoy for the summer and years to come . Thank you Tasha for the amazing work !

Working with Gingko has been great Natasha was informative and after understanding what I was looking for ensured I had a planting plan which I can build upon over time. The cost of her work far outways the costs associated with buying the wrong plants for your garden. I know nothing about gardening but now have the confidence to buy and build. The most cost effective way to live your garden. More...

Working with Tasha was a pleasant and positive experience. Most of our communication took place via email, and she was consistently prompt and clear in her responses.
She delivered everything she committed to and provided well-organized garden plans that were easy to follow. I also learned about new plants through her guidance.
Tasha offered a practical and accessible alternative to a full-scale landscape designer, helping me make the most of the existing layout and planting beds in my garden. She spent a generous amount of time walking through the space with me, discussing ideas in detail. My new perennial border is far more diverse thanks to her input. I would recommend her to others looking for knowledgeable and thoughtful garden advice.

We were so lucky to find Ginkgo! Tash is an experienced and creative gardener, deeply knowledgeable and creative. She listened closely to what we wanted in our garden design, which included extensive new planting of trees, shrubs and flowers. Her ideas and guidance through every phase of the process was so reassuring. She was a pleasure to work with, friendly, relaxed, and professional, and we are looking forward to her helping us maintain our beautiful new garden. Thanks Tash! More...

Tasha has been an absolute star, I have had delays on my build which then delayed my garden plans.
Tasha was so patient and drew up a great design which incorporated my plants which had been placed in pots.
I highly recommend Tasha and her designs

Howard & Stephanie Bell
Natasha Ridley helped my wife and I transform our garden from what was frankly a mess to a really lovely collection of plants and shrubs ready for this summer and provided design ideas which will hopefully keep us going for many years.
In addition to knowing which plants will work where, Natasha help us with catenaries (our garden is on quite a slope and creepers to create height) . Natasha was a delight to work with- thoughtful, engaging and always provided new ideas for my wife and I to consider. Natasha was also able to literally dig in , removing old shrubs and moving earth to setup the redesign.
We would both recommend Natasha without reservation.

We were dealing with a disaster in our garden and Natasha came to our rescue. Her calm manner and delightful sense of humour as well as her depth of knowledge instantly calmed us down and instilled us with confidence.
It was a pleasure to work with her in restoring our garden to an absolute delight!
Her willingness to be available for further queries and assistance is very reassuring.
