Recommendation for Jane's gardening advice service


JeanieB

Recommended Posts

Want to get your garden into shape this year but not sure where to start? Need a garden friend to help you differentiate the weeds from the plants and work out what's worth keeping and what to chuck? I have gardened in East Dulwich for 18 years and have run 'jane's veg school' from Crystal Palace Road for the last 8.(www.janesvegschool.co.uk).


Book a 3 hour session and I will come to you to talk through your garden problems and ideas, offering advice on positioning and care of existing plants and suggestions of tried and trusted new ones which will give you year round colour. Together we will put together a plan of action and I can suggest reliable local traders if you do not want or cannot do all the work yourself.


This session is aimed at the enthusiastic beginner gardener who just needs a bit of support and knowledge to achieve the garden of their dreams!


Further sessions on pruning, soil conditioning, compost making, cut flower growing are also available. Call Jane on 07952 898025 for further details or email [email protected] to book a session. Handmade vouchers are available if you would like to give this as a present. Happy gardening!

Hi all,


Just a quick post to recommend the gardening advice service from Jane in East Dulwich ([email protected]). My boyfriend and I have had a small garden for about 18 months now, and though we are excited about its potential we haven't really had a clue up until now about what to actually do with it! Last summer was spent weeding, pruning and clearing - worthwhile but not hugely rewarding.


So we've now had a garden consultation with Jane who gave us the names of all the plants we currently have and information and practical guidance about how to prune them and train them to get the best out of them. She looked at our soil and lawn and gave us tips on those too. On the basis of the space and light we have, she made suggestions for how we could add some low-maintenance new plants to bring colour and a bit of our own influence to the garden. She was also very knowledgeable about where we could go in the area to get everything we need.


It was a pleasure to have Jane come and help us with our garden ? we are feeling a lot more confident about getting stuck in! Her fees are reasonable, and we feel like we have a much better chance now of having a garden we have shaped ourselves to enjoy over the summer. Highly recommended to novice gardeners.

Autumn is a really good time to get to grips with your garden and prepare for next year - it's bulb planting time too. If you need a garden friend to discuss how you can get the most out of your garden, get in touch and book a session. Jane 07952 898025 or email me on [email protected]

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
