Hello everybody,

My name is Marie and I live and work in St Austell, Cornwall.

After 28 years public health nursing, I completed a RHS level 2 in Principles of Horticulture and set up as a companion gardener.

If you are struggling to manage your garden by yourself, due to ill health or mobility limitations then please message me.

I am also available to support local, charitable, green spaces.

As a WeWeed ambassador I also run networking meet-ups for local gardeners and for those thinking about becoming a gardener. Get in touch if you want to come along to the next one!

An integral part of my business plan is local networking by volunteering in areas of need such as the hospice garden, supporting a sustainable flower farmer and help to work with our local Incredible Edible CIC, St Austell which is where I hope future clients can be supported following a social prescription from their gp. These activities require time spent working along side established horticulturists who benefit from my labour whilst I further develop my knowledge and experience alongside them. Becoming a horticultural therapist provides a service to my clients which allows nature to nurture but their garden provides the healing.
