Our Customers
Secret Garden have been looking after my garden for a couple of years and it has flourished under their care. Their hard work clearing, planting, and nurturing the garden has meant that I can just enjoy it. I like being able to use a local business, and I highly recommend them.

"We are delighted by how well Ali understood our desire to move away from a rectangular space to a more interesting garden. The team were formidable – rain or shine, they slogged away and were at all times polite and friendly. Tamsin implemented a lovely planting plan and we look forward to seeing how it has matured this season. We are very happy to recommend Secret Garden. Their work brings us daily pleasure."
