Garden and Land Consultation
With Sid Hill
Garden Consultant recommended by Gardens Illustrated
Offering landscape consultancy and garden coaching for those who want to enhance the landscape for beauty, biodiversity and rekindle our connection with nature. Supporting home owners, estates, public gardens and landscape professionals.
I have a passion for helping clients find direction and inspiration for the use of their land. By using my experience and creativity we can make a clear path for management approaches, use, or design of your landscape or garden, supporting you in making the most of the land for yourself and for nature.
Garden Coaching
Whilst a garden designer can provide a beautiful design of your garden, it is not always necessary to completely re-design your space. Some clients want the support to do the work themselves or to inform the work of their gardener.
On a typical garden coaching session, we will walk around your land discussing any thoughts and intentions you have for the place. I will offer my experience and ideas, teaching you about your garden, the plants, techniques of management and inspiring you to connect with the land and the opportunities it presents in an achievable way.
"I was feeling overwhelmed and confused about the way ahead, with great plans but little idea of how to achieve them. For years I have just been muddling along. However by the end of a day with Sid I felt like a gardener, with a clear vision of the way ahead. He is encouraging, inspiring and explains things in a very practical and straightforward way."

For our clients with larger landscapes and estates, the workload can be overwhelming and a challenge getting your gardener to implement your vision. That is why it is so valuable to have the support from an experienced landscape consultant to help work towards your goals for the land in a manageable approach. Generating new ideas, providing thoughtful management plans and making sure their is clear communication between all parties for your intentions with the land.
"Sid has helped create a wonderful management plan for our Community Orchard and Edible Forest Garden that it will definitely help us in going forward the right way. I especially liked the hand drawn beautiful maps. We learnt so much from him in the time he spent with us, he's so full of interesting knowledge & explains everything so clearly and well" Elise Langley St Ives Community Orchard

"Sid's been a great help to me as a designer dedicated to ecological gardens and landscapes. Sid has helped support my own practice, giving me confidence to make decisions about lesser known principles but he's also a real asset to introduce to clients, helping to support your ideas and bring them to fruition. Also handy that he's such a lovely guy!"
