Expert horticultural advice, specific to your garden
Sometimes you don’t need an entirely new garden. You simply need to know what to do with the one you have.
Hedge & Thistle offers personalised one-on-one horticultural guidance for homeowners who want professional advice and practical direction for their outdoor spaces.
With a Bachelor of Horticultural Science and more than 30 years of industry experience, Christopher can assess your garden in person, identify opportunities or problems and provide recommendations based on the actual conditions of your property.
It is an ideal service if you enjoy working in your own garden but would value the knowledge of an experienced horticulturist to help you make confident decisions.
Advice that goes beyond what looks good
Plants are living things, and successful gardening requires an understanding of what is happening both above and below the soil.
Advice may cover plant health and selection, positioning, pruning, soil improvement, irrigation, lawn establishment, existing planting, garden development and ways to improve the overall structure and performance of your landscape.
Soil care is particularly important to the Hedge & Thistle philosophy. Healthy, productive soil provides the foundation for healthy plants, yet it is often one of the most overlooked parts of a garden.
By looking at the garden as a complete living environment, Christopher can help identify not just what needs attention, but why.
Your garden, with professional support
One-on-one guidance can be useful when:
- You have inherited an established garden and aren’t sure where to begin
- Plants are struggling and you want to understand why
- You want help choosing plants for a particular area

- You need advice on soil health or irrigation
- You want to establish a new lawn

The aim isn’t to take your garden away from you. It’s to give you the knowledge, direction and horticultural support to help it thrive.
