Thoughtful advice for gardens that grow with you
Lulu’s Garden offers in-person garden consultations: practical, tailored guidance drawn from years of hands-on gardening experience and everyday conversations with gardeners seeking clearer next steps.
Approach
Good garden advice starts with looking carefully at your site — light, soil, plants already thriving, and how you actually use the space — then suggesting changes that feel achievable.
Advice that fits
Receive practical suggestions shaped around your garden and your goals — not a one-size checklist copied from somewhere else.
Clear next steps
Leave knowing what to try first, what can wait, and how to keep momentum without unnecessary complexity.
About Lulu
Lulu is a very experienced gardener. For the past seven years she has worked in a nursery setting, helping people choose plants and think through everyday garden questions. Many people come back because they value the clarity of her advice.
Through Lulu’s Garden she offers consultancy visits so that conversation can happen in your own garden — where the light, soil, and plants tell their own story.
What consultations can cover
Topics are guided by what you need on the day. Broadly, visits can explore planting choices, care and seasonal timing, how to improve tired beds, balancing productive and ornamental spaces, and prioritising work so the garden feels manageable.
Garden visit service
Consultations are in person. Lulu comes to your garden so recommendations can respond to what is actually growing there — and to how you want to use the space.
A visit is for
Home gardeners who want a thoughtful second pair of eyes — whether you are starting a new bed, refreshing an established garden, or feeling stuck between too many options.
Fees and timing
Duration and fees are agreed with you before the visit is booked.
