Established by Dave Davies, a botanical horticulturist, who’s passion for plants and love of gardens inspires him to always create the best garden possible.

 

With over 15 years of experience in world-renowned botanic gardens, The Royal Horticultural Society, and managing the 40-acre grounds of a private estate, Dave knows a thing or two about managing gardens to the highest standards. Dave's keen eye for detail and knowledge of plants and plant health will ensure your garden looks great and stays healthy.

Dave's bachelor's degree in Horticultural Management, along with his extensive experience, gives him the knowledge and ability to fully diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of your garden, plants, and soil. 

 

Is your garden looking a little tired, some plants not growing the way you want, not sure how to improve its aesthetics……. Then look no further than EthnoFlora. We come to you and walk through your garden with you, getting a feel for exactly what you want from your garden. On-site we can offer some practical advice to hit the ground running with your garden improvements, later you’ll receive a garden management plan for the next 12 months. Nothing fancy and over-the-top in our management plants, we’ll simply put down the facts, how to initially get the garden growing, what plants should go or be moved, and a bit more detail on bigger projects, along with when they should be carried out. Depending on your needs, we can offer an annual management plan, a site visit to you, and your garden each year, with a new plan detailing where to go next with your garden.

 

Already have a garden maintenance company pop in . . . no worries, you can use our management plan to steer them in the right direction, ensuring everyone is working for the best interests of your garden.

 

We make it easy, there is an initial payment for the visit and garden walk-through. If you then wish to move forward with the development of a management plan you’ll pay a fixed price depending on the size of your garden.
