Elena in the Garden

I'm a friendly, professional and qualified gardener working in Norwich and the surrounding South Norfolk villages. Passionate about caring for beautiful and wildlife-rich gardens, I’m equally happy pruning climbing roses in the depths of February or surrounded by flowers and bees in a thriving summer border. I trained with the RHS at Writtle University College before working on an Estate garden in West Norfolk. Since moving to South Norfolk I'm now offering bespoke gardening services in local gardens.

I always seek to work in ways that protect and enhance the biodiversity of a garden. For that reason I don't use pesticides or herbicides. Where possible, I choose no-dig methods that promote the health of micro-organisms and invertebrates in the soil: a healthy soil is the key to healthy plants.
Each of my clients receives a personal service. Some keen gardeners prefer to collaborate on the work plan, so that we each understand the other's role in the garden. Some like to work alongside me during my visits, which is always welcome. Other clients like me to worry about their garden so they don't have to.
