Companionship

Do you have a loved one who would love a friend to check in with them and do some gardening, then stay for a cuppa tea and a catch-up? At Companion Planting we never over-schedule, so our clients don’t feel like we are rushing away as soon as we have finished gardening.

What our customers say

We are here to help you find joy in gardening again.

Sam has been an absolute angel for my garden (and for my mental health too). She has a love of all things gardening and she cares for your garden as if it were her own. She can work alongside you or work away on her own depending on your needs. Sam has been instrumental in not only getting my garden under control but also gently guiding me to make some changes that make it a lot more manageable and enjoyable. I'd be lost without her!

Bernadette Client

Sam has brought her knowledge of plants, her love of gardening, her wonderful energy, and practical skills to my courtyard gardens. No problem is too difficult for her. She has encouraged and supported me with my goal to keep my gardens as easy care and beautiful as possible, so I can continue to age in my own home. I enjoy our time together and learn so much from Sam. I look forward to her coming and to our friendly chats. I feel grateful to have found Sam and I recommend her highly.

I love my afternoons spent gardening with Companion Planting. Sam is really knowledgeable and easy to work with.
