Recommendation for Jane's gardening advice service

Recommended Posts

Want to get your garden into shape this year but not sure where to start? Need a garden friend to help you differentiate the weeds from the plants and work out what's worth keeping and what to chuck? I have gardened in East Dulwich for 18 years and have run 'jane's veg school' from Crystal Palace Road for the last 8.(www.janesvegschool.co.uk).


Book a 3 hour session and I will come to you to talk through your garden problems and ideas, offering advice on positioning and care of existing plants and suggestions of tried and trusted new ones which will give you year round colour. Together we will put together a plan of action and I can suggest reliable local traders if you do not want or cannot do all the work yourself.


This session is aimed at the enthusiastic beginner gardener who just needs a bit of support and knowledge to achieve the garden of their dreams!


Further sessions on pruning, soil conditioning, compost making, cut flower growing are also available. Call Jane on 07952 898025 for further details or email [email protected] to book a session. Handmade vouchers are available if you would like to give this as a present. Happy gardening!

Hi all,


Just a quick post to recommend the gardening advice service from Jane in East Dulwich ([email protected]). My boyfriend and I have had a small garden for about 18 months now, and though we are excited about its potential we haven't really had a clue up until now about what to actually do with it! Last summer was spent weeding, pruning and clearing - worthwhile but not hugely rewarding.


So we've now had a garden consultation with Jane who gave us the names of all the plants we currently have and information and practical guidance about how to prune them and train them to get the best out of them. She looked at our soil and lawn and gave us tips on those too. On the basis of the space and light we have, she made suggestions for how we could add some low-maintenance new plants to bring colour and a bit of our own influence to the garden. She was also very knowledgeable about where we could go in the area to get everything we need.


It was a pleasure to have Jane come and help us with our garden ? we are feeling a lot more confident about getting stuck in! Her fees are reasonable, and we feel like we have a much better chance now of having a garden we have shaped ourselves to enjoy over the summer. Highly recommended to novice gardeners.

Autumn is a really good time to get to grips with your garden and prepare for next year - it's bulb planting time too. If you need a garden friend to discuss how you can get the most out of your garden, get in touch and book a session. Jane 07952 898025 or email me on [email protected]

    • You can take any old clothes or any other fabric like tea towels  to Primark stores. They all have collection boxes. Any old clothes and rags that can't be reused are recycled for other uses like toy stuffing and insulation 
    • Got loads of frogspawn.  Don't have that much success as can't keep it in the pond as the newts eat it.  I took the first clump out yesterday and put it in a bucket with netting on top.  The loads more appeared.,... Last year I kept it like this and then transferred to some large plant saucers when they were near to walking onto land.  Had to top up the water, provide shade as they will have cooked in the sunshine, and fed with boiled cabbage, kale or other green stuff. I got a few froglets.  two or three years ago I picked up some spawn from someone in SE22 who had a whole nursery, numerous ponds, in their back garden. Never seen any baby newts or spawn, maybe have ten or more, but I know they go roaming.
    • Newts, ducks, from my understanding cats and dogs don't eat frogspawn, they may eat tadpoles.  Continuing this conversation on the nature thread.
    • You lose the moral high ground as soon as you call people clowns.  I don't know why so many of you have to bring the conversation down,  I've made the same point on other threads.  Have a look at what you posted - do you think insults made your view any more valid?  Sadly too many discussions descend in this way.  As said this applies to many others who post here. I can, and do, complain, about a variety of goods and services.  In the last 20 years or so try to keep it civil.  And look back on some of my past behaviours with some embarrassment.
