''Your help was very useful in giving me a focus for the work that needed doing in the garden. Otherwise, I think it may have just overwhelmed me.......... I like to do things according to a list or schedule!! We have got rid of a few of the old shrubs which you said were passed their best; put a wooden feature in the "woodland area" and planted it with foxgloves, hellebores and some spring bulbs; installed a new seating area and put insect-friendly plants around it and had a small crop of potatoes, beans and tomatoes............ not bad for 2 very novice gardeners, eh? And quite enjoyed doing it too! Many thanks for all your suggestions. '' L. Quinlan - Norton, Malton
''Once acquainted with our ‘difficult’ garden Fiona prepared a deliverable plan for me to implement at my leisure. The plan incorporated a detailed inventory of our plants and a description of the varying pH values of the soil in different parts of the garden. I now have a comprehensive ‘recipe’ to follow and the added knowledge that Fiona is always a phone call away.” J. Bowles - Oswaldkirk
‘'The Independent Gardener’ is a very worthwhile enterprise. The service provided is highly competent, enthusiastic and flexible. Much to be commended.'' L.Gibbon - Slingsby
"Fiona offers a great service that is extremely flexible to fit in with my busy schedule. This has meant that Fiona has made herself available at a variety of times, be that during the normal working day, of an evening or at weekends. She is very reasonably priced and had taught me a lot about my garden and what I need to do to get the best out of it. Fiona is very approachable and it is obvious that she tailors her service to my individual needs. I intend to continue to seek Fiona's advice in the future because as a near beginner gardener I don't think I'm just at a stage to be fully left on my own. However, I will say that I'm an eminently better gardener now than I was 8 months ago before Fiona's help.""Thanks Fiona for everything." L-M Collins - York
