About me

My name is Elaine, and I love helping people create gorgeous planting schemes for their gardens, no matter how small.

I specialise in designing low maintenance planting plans for small to medium-sized urban gardens, where clever plant choices and thoughtful layouts can make a big impact. Whether you want to refresh a tired space, attract pollinators, add seasonal interest, improve the view from your kitchen, or simply create a more enjoyable outdoor area, I’ll work with you to bring your ideas to life!

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from TU Dublin and I'm an associate member of the Chartered Institute of Horticulture (ACIHort).

My hands-on experience includes working in the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland in Dublin and in private gardens across the city. I’ve designed planting schemes for front and back gardens in Raheny and throughout Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Louth.

I’m a member ofthe Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland, the Howth and Sutton Horticultural Society and the Irish Garden Plant Society. I also volunteer with the Raheny Tidy Village Group, where I look after public flower beds and planters around the village of Raheny.

I believe that all gardens look better with the right plant choices!

Testimonials

"Elaine did our garden last weekend and we’re absolutely delighted with how it turned out. She designed and planted a large bedding area for us. She really listened to what we wanted and came up with something that suits us perfectly. The layout and choice of plants is perfect. Elaine was lovely to deal with and very professional from start to finish. Would highly recommend."

Janet and Eugene, Malahide

"I would highly recommend the plant planner - Elaine is so lovely and easy to deal with and she made the whole process super straightforward. The results were fantastic and we got everything she promised and more in relation to the planting design for our garden. In terms of value for money she is exceptional and really knows her stuff. Her advice and guidance were exactly what we needed and we are currently following her plan and can’t wait to see the results!"
