Review: ​"Sadie came to meet me to get an idea of what I liked, then went away to create a detailed planting plan. She sourced everything required and I've ended up with a small terrace garden that's given me a lot of pleasure, and some privacy from my neighbours. Sadie is always quick to respond to queries and I have no hesitation in recommending her."

Review: “Sadie was very professional, we discussed the design of the garden. She used her own supplier for soil and plants. All the soil had to come through the house so it had to be really clean and tidy. She and her team were amazing and I am very pleased with the garden. There is more to do and I will definitely go back to Sadie.”

Sadie and her team have done an amazing job of my front garden. It was an unruly urban jungle in need of some major TLC. The garden now looks amazing a happy home for bees and birds and the occasional squirrel. I am very happy with the results and would highly recommend Plant People to come and design other peoples gardens''
