Garden Designer & Maintenance Gardener

Who I am

My name is Benjamin Mallow. Everyone calls me Ben.
I am a horticulturalist (a plantsman) and trained at Capel Manor where I attained a Distinction * (Star) in Level 3 Advanced Technical Horticulture. I am a proud member of both the Chartered Institute of Horticulture, and the Gardeners Guild. I am insured for all the work I carry out.

  • Loving how this design is coming into its own in the summer!
  • Pruned by myself in late winter, it is now flowering profusely, and what a flower it has!

  • Little project I am working on
  • Garden design starting to come into flower. Everything is very dry here still. Soil is like dust.
  • Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' remains the queen of all the Salvias in my opinion. Taken from design I did.
  • First spring for this garden I designed and it's already looking great, though very dry! We need some rain.
  • The light today coming through the trees lit this Cotinus beautifully

Ben has only been working in my (very large and previously rather messy) garden for a few months but I can already see the improvements that his skills are making.
I would thoroughly recommend him.”
