I am an experienced, self-employed gardener and I have been maintaining gardens in East Dulwich and the surrounding area for the last few years. 
I am now starting to move away from garden maintenance work in order to specialise in garden consultancy and design. The combination of my design background and love of plants makes this a natural progression for me.

I can provide my clients with:

Bespoke, on-site garden consultations (one-off or seasonal) - Plant advice e.g. pruning/dividing/training demonstrations, advice on growing problems, what plant where, container gardens.

Design - Ideas to revamp an outside space, drawings of new layouts, site specific planting plans.

For examples of my work please visit Instagram: gardening_services1

Feel free to get in touch if you think I may be able to help you: 07580364256

All the best

Clare

Hi- just wanted to say that Clare did  has been working with us on quite a big replanting design in our garden in Peckham. We spoke to a couple of garden designers about the planting plan before going ahead with Clare . I felt she understood exactly what I wanted (even  if I couldn't fully articulate it- I am still very much learning), and was happy to work in stages on our large garden- which has allowed me to learn how to manage the garden as go along. Her designs are beautiful and she's kept an ongoing and up to date  list of  plants as we've sourced them from various places. Clare planted  a lot over the spring- and the garden is already looking brilliant. Totally transformed from a few months ago. I would really recommend her !

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
