Garden centres and plant deliveries for your Glasgow garden
In this era of online deliveries, one area that hasn't kept up so far is the delivery of garden plants. Whilst customers may be used to visiting garden centres and selecting plants for themselves, it is an unfortunate fact of life that often the plants don't make it as they're just not happy in their new home. The benefit of having a planting plan or plant list drawn up, and then delivering the plants for you and providing maintenance instructions is self-evident. Garden designers and landscape gardeners in Glasgow can help with this - and Tom Angel specialises in this area of work.
Amongst the list of Glasgow garden designers you will find Tom Angel - chartered horticulturist, award-winning garden designer and horticultural consultant. Tom takes great satisfaction from helping out folk with their gardens in a pragmatic and friendly way, and keeping things within affordable budgets. Rather than searching for garden centres in Glasgow and making the same mistakes, why not invest in a garden design consultation, get some planting plans drawn up, and get the plants delivered to your door? Tom also works as a landscape gardener so it may be possible to carry out the planting work for you too.
The benefit of having a planting plan drawn up is that the plants specified will be happy in that location - this is key to the work of garden designers in Glasgow and beyond, 'right plant, right place'! A soil test and micro-climate analysis make sure, as far as is possible, that your plants will thrive and blossom in their respective locations. Best practice around planting, and watering in the days and weeks afterwards, are absolutely key too - and receiving guidance about this will help make sure your garden plants fulfill their potential.
The soil test involves verifying the pH of the soil - the acidity or alkalinity. The DIY testing kits available in garden centres are notoriously unreliable, so Tom uses agricultural-grade meters to check the pH levels of soil samples. Further to this, a micro-climate analysis and assessment of drainage conditions help complete the information required to ensure plants will be happy in their new homes.
Planting plans are delivered as 2D computer-drawn documents, alongside a plant list in a format recognised by nurseries nationwide. This means that you can either source the plants yourself, or if you are based in Scotland you can rely on Tom to organise sourcing and delivery if plants at garden centre prices (or cheaper!).
