The About Thyme Gardening Team
Peter
Attended the Manea School of Gardening studying and passing level 2 RHS qualifications The Certificate in Practical Horticulture and Certificate in the Principles of Plant Growth and Development which incorporates the Certificate in the Principles of Plant Growth and development and theLevel 2 Certificate in the Principles and Practices of Horticulture. Peter has years of gardening experience, including working as a WRAGS trainee gardener at Churchill University College, Cambridge.
Peter gave up his job in business to re-train and set up About Thyme Gardening so that he could do what he loves. He is absolutely passionate about garden design and the upkeep of beautiful gardens. Central to his approach is an appreciation that beautiful, low maintenance, successful gardens need to relate to their environment, the buildings and their surroundings, and their owners' needs and wishes. His designs 'work' horticulturally and aesthetically.
Gill
Gill is currently studying for her RHS Level 2 qualifications. She has a wealth of practical gardening experience and plant knowledge and works regularly with Peter in gardens around Cambridge.
Henry
Henry runs his own company H. E. Shepherd Fencing Ltd but has become heavily involved working with About Thyme Gardening.

The About Thyme Gardening Approach
We work on the ethos of “right plant, right place” that gives our clients colour and interest in their gardens throughout the seasons.
We have a superb knowledge of plants and trees, and About Thyme Gardening creates gardens that are viewed as spaces to be planted rather than areas to be laid to hard landscaping. Whenever possible, we provide plants grown in this country by certified growers ensuring our work's carbon footprint is as low as possible. This is very important to us, as is using local suppliers and growers.
We use the best locally sourced certified weed, pest and disease free plants and trees grown in the UK. We use locally sourced, screened topsoil, nutrient enriched soils, organic mulches and aggregates.
We design and plant up entire gardens, or individual beds and schemes as required by our clients. After an initial consultation and site survey, we deliver a design service including soft and hard landscaping suggestions, plus a planting plan.
We provide garden maintenance for our design clients who may not have enough time or the knowledge to maintain their beautiful garden. We also garden for clients how have grown or designed their own gardens, but for a range of reasons cannot maintain them ongoing.
We recommend water features. Water fascinates and captivates like no other garden feature. Its movement, reflections and sound bring an appealing mix of new sensations to a garden. Water also offers our clients the chance to grow a different range of plants that attracts insects and other wildlife to their gardens, whether we have installed a natural pond or contemporary structure.
