The first step in the Planting Solutions consultation is the site inspection where I will assess the site with you to clarify what the specific function, feel or theme you want for your garden. And to look at layout possibilities of the garden beds and plants.
Then I will draw up a plan of the garden beds in relation to the site to give us a starting point to work from.
Next, I will spend some time going through my categorised plant list to choose possible suitable plants, and add in Garden Design ideas into the plan.
Once I have selected plants for each garden bed, then I will go through the suggested plants (and some possible alternatives) with you to show you pictures of what the possible plants look like. This part of the consultation helps greatly in ensuring that the suggested plants are not just suitable for the site, but are also plants that you like and give you the feel, theme and function you want for your garden.
At this stage, I encourage you to take photos of the plants so that you immediately have your own record of all the plants.
Once we have chosen the plants that fit your requirements, John will work out the layout of all the plants for the garden onto the plan and put together a list of these plants so that you receive a keyed plan that corresponds to the plant list. This plant list also includes the size at maturity of the plants so you can be confident about the size that the plants will grow too.
The plant list will also include quantities of each plant required so that it is easy to order the plants.
Finally, John will run through the planting plan and the plant lists with you to clarify the plant selection and layout. At this point we will make any adjustments to the plan and plant lists to ensure that the plan you receive meets your approval.
