Testimonials
" I am delighted with the garden that Fran designed and planted for us.
She discussed our requirements and initial thoughts and turned these into a
design and planting layout far better than anything we could have achieved
ourselves. The garden is now in its second year and is already looking
remarkably well-established with a lovely colour scheme and lots of interest
throughout the seasons. I have no hesitation in recommending her for the
excellent service she has provided for us. Gardening is now enjoyable!"

"Never having attempted a planting scheme before, Fran guided me
through the process expertly. She talked to me about my colour preferences
and overall objectives for the garden, to create an initial vision. When it
came to narrowing down prospective plants, she provided lots of ideas
to choose from. It didn't matter that I wasn't familiar with the names or
characteristics of individual plants, she advised me to research images
to create a list.. She then oversaw the planting process to ensure the
plan was as intended, and she has continued to offer advice
and amendments where necessary.
I know I can call Fran for follow ups whenever necessary and
benefit from her excellent aftercare and have no hesitation in
recommending her." V Davis, Cuffley

"We can't recommend Fran highly enough. We love the creative plans she came up
with for our tiered garden - a landscape challenge - as much as the planting scheme
which is now taking shape. Fran is so easy to work with ... she listens and then
takes your early ideas on a journey of garden discovery! We now have an attractive
garden which will also be easy to maintain! We continue to work with Fran and will
be using her talent and skills for our phase II front garden". Andrea B - Hertford

"I have been using Fran at Acorn for several years now, first for some design
work on a rockery area which pleased me no end, very much admired
by others....then onto other areas of my garden. She has wide expertise in her
use of plants and actually listens to what you want. I would have no hesitation
in recommending her, she is reliable, knowledgeable and good to have
around". Sandra R - Watton at Stone

and shrubs for nearly ten years. Her knowledge is encyclopaedic and with her

we can now enjoy all year round. Fran has been a constant source of help and
advice to us and we would recommend her without hesitation”. Steven P - Letty Green

the planting of our garden. There is colour and texture, with long flowering
plants and low maintenance. Fran has given us the garden we really
