Small-scale gardening, plant care, and garden rescue by Alexandra (Alex) aka The Green Hog
Hello I’m Alexandra (Alex) aka The Green Hog. I call myself a “small-scale” gardener which means I am happy to concentrate on those little jobs which many other people don’t like. I have long been interested in horticulture and particularly wild flowers and am currently studying RHS Level 2.
Strange as it may seem I enjoy weeding and a good old tidy up in the garden. I love plants and am thoughtful about wildlife.
I know how busy many people are and I understand that most do not share my passion for weeds. So, let me take care of some of the jobs you hate and that you simply can’t prioritise.
I am tax registered and liability insured.
Right Plant Right Place: I look at the aspect of a garden, the exposure, your water situation, the nature of the soil and more. I can advise you on which plants to choose and which practises to adopt to try to avoid pest infestation. I have learned from bitter experience.
I have never used pesticides or weedkillers. I don’t fight nature; I am a realist. It makes your garden much more low maintenance if you select plants which are tried and tested locally. I can help you if you feel clueless.
