Our Background
CHRISSY GIBBY
Growing up, I spent countless hours in the garden with my parents, who instilled in me love for vibrant outdoor spaces. My passion for plants truly blossomed during my time travelling, leading me to realize that the office life wasn’t for me.
Eager to learn more, I began my career in a garden nursery, absorbing knowledge about plants and the industry. Then, with the guidance of a gardening mentor, I dedicated myself to studying and honing my skills, and now I proudly run my own garden services and design company.
​
With a passion for working with people and a love for the outdoors, I bring a wealth of experience from various gardens whether they be sprawling countryside landscapes, serene botanical gardens, or urban green spaces. I’m here to help you create and maintain a beautiful garden that reflects your style and enhances your outdoor experience. Let's cultivate something wonderful together!
