Gardening
Drew Spellar - Twelve Acres Gardening
Gardening is a hobby for some people, a break from life indoors. For me, it is a huge part of my everyday life. From design to maintentance and everything in between, I’ll help you connect with your outdoor space, so you can reconnect with your garden.
Gardener, plant grower, HERB LOVER
I'm Drew and gardening is my thing...in fact, pretty much any aspect of horticulture.
Alongside running my own gardening business since 2015, I am continually looking to improve my technical and theoretical knowledge. I completed my RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture with Berkshire College of Agriculture, have a Diploma in Garden Design and Maintenance and I am currently studying for a Certificate in Herb Culture.
I like to get out and visit gardens - big and small - wherever possible and learn as much as possible through my growing horticultural book collection, magazines, groups and societies, and other people.
I am also the Chair and a Trustee on the Board for The Herb Society.
SERVICES
GARDEN DESIGN
Whether you are looking to revamp your garden, unsure how to tackle a difficult area or have a blank canvas, I can design something special to meet your needs. After an initial discussion and visit, I work with clients to create a design and planting to work with how you want to use or just enjoy the space that you have.
Garden Maintenance
I just love gardening, so either on an ongoing basis or as a one off for special requirements such as pruning I will be there. I use my RHS training as well as personal experience to make sure that you are getting the right jobs done at the right time. Get in touch to let me know what you need.
Talks
I love to talk to people about gardening too. I give talks to clubs, societies and anyone else who will listen. My two most popular talks are “Establishing and Maintaining a Herb Garden” and “Getting the most from Herbs – from Sowing to Storing”. I am happy to adapt talks to include specific areas of interest as well.
