Hi, my name is Mark Rice and my fascination with plants, flowers,trees and the natural world has been with me from an early age, the birds, animals and thousands of insects that bring it alive always tell me life is for living, enjoying and learning, with this in a garden who could stay indoors ?
Call Mark on 07575 107807, next summer you’ll be glad you did
In this day and age we need now more than any other time to reflect on our planet and how we can look after it. Its all about attention to detail and this starts right on your own doorstep.
Re-Wilding, some call it Nature Restoration in some ways its a little of both, re-introducing a previous landscape may be okay, but plants and wildlife have probably adapted themselves to it already, so if we can look after what we have it will be restoring nature which in turn is quite capable of taking over areas all on its own, given time.
Call Mark and let him help you, help nature, help the planet. 07575 107807 inspiregardenarchitects@gmail.com
Over the years you learn ways to keep those plants looking good and healthy, every gardener has made errors, the skill is first knowing how to deal with them, the other is to remember those signs in the future. Knowledge of the natural world plays a central role in protecting the plants.

Border Planning - Landscape Planting - Courtyard Planting - Using the right plants in the right environments
Plants grow differently in each garden, we often hear about ‘‘right plant right place’’ and that can make some people think that they can only have certain plants in there gardens. This is not true, if you want a particular plant in your garden, create an area for it and give it the attention it needs. Border planning can do just that. All plants positioned on a plan in the border, full list of how to look after them and keep them healthy, any specific needs, and if you would like a particular plant or species, how to create the area for them. Full back up after if advice is needed. All garden planning should be done with time, think now for next year, that display you want is just a plan away.
