Hi, I’m Frances

I’m a qualified and experienced garden designer and plantswoman, with a background in teaching and coaching adults. I work mostly in Bristol, Bath, Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.

I hope you will find something in my design, coaching and advice services that meets your garden needs, and I look forward to hearing from you.


Frances was super easy to work with, quickly understood what I wanted and produced a relaxed and sympathetic plan. The garden is bursting into life and I’m really happy with the transformation!

Garden & Planting Design

Create something special and uniquely yours

Whether your garden is a blank canvas, a tangle of brambles or you just want a change, why not give me a call so we can discuss your garden design. It’s the first step to creating a special  and unique outdoor space that works for you and your family.

The initial consultation, lasting up to 2 hours, is completely free.


Garden Coaching

Increase your garden knowledge and confidence

Do you buy lots of lovely plants but they fail to thrive or they just die? Or perhaps you want to learn and get more enjoyment from your garden? Garden Coaching could be for you.

Each practical session is designed to meet your needs and those of your garden, in an informal and relaxed way.


Garden Advice

Need advice on garden and planting design?

If you’re not sure what to do with your garden and need some ideas and a new perspective, Garden Advice could be what you need! Give me a call to arrange a visit.


I have lots of enthusiasm but not a great deal of knowledge, so it’s been great having Frances work on my garden. I did wonder if I’d feel a bit disconnected with somebody else planning my garden but the whole process has been very relaxed and collaborative and despite Frances doing all the hard work I feel very involved. Frances has made a huge improvement in a very short time and I’m looking forward to seeing how the garden looks in spring!
