Bespoke Garden Aftercare

By the Designers Who Created It

Your garden has been carefully designed and planted. To ensure it matures as intended, we offer a optional Aftercare Package, carried out by the same team who created it.

Gardens are not static

They grow, shift, and mature over time. Plants spread, self-seed, or decline; light conditions change as trees and shrubs develop; and weather patterns vary year to year. Your garden will change with the seasons and evolve over the years.

All the members of our award winning design team are qualified horticulturists with years of experience in maintaining and developing borders. Their expertise ensures your garden is not only maintained but guided to reach its full potential.

By continuing to work with the original design team, you benefit from a consistent, knowledgeable approach rooted in the vision of your garden.

Treat your garden as a living, dynamic space – not a fixed installation.

A beautiful garden is the result of both design and ongoing relationship. The more you observe and engage with it, the better it will reflect your needs and respond to its environment.

What to Expect Over Time

  • Growth & Maturity

    Plants grow larger, some faster than expected. Regular pruning and thinning will be necessary.

  • Self-Seeding

    Some perennials or annuals may self-seed into new spots. You may wish to keep or remove these volunteers.

  • Dieback & Decline

    Even well-cared-for plants can fail due to pests, disease, or extreme weather. Be ready to replace or revise planting areas.

  • Shifting Conditions

  • Shade may increase as trees mature, or areas may become drier over time.

Best Practices

  • Observe Regularly

    Walk through the garden weekly to spot changes early.

  • Adjust as Needed

    Don’t be afraid to lift, divide, or replace plants. Editing the garden is part of the process.

  • Keep a Garden Journal

    Record what thrives, what struggles, and when tasks were done.

  • Refresh Design Every 3–5 Years

  • Small tweaks can restore balance, improve function, or renew visual interest.

Gardenwilds Aftercare Package

Our Aftercare Package is designed to support the successful establishment of your newly planted borders during their most important early stages.

We will create an aftercare package tailored to your garden, carried out by the same horticulturally trained designers who created your garden. During each visit, we’ll assess how well the planting is settling in, answer any questions you may have, and provide expert care where it’s needed.

We’ll work directly on your borders and give them any attention they require — from pruning and feeding to adjustments that support long-term health and balance.

  • Identify any issues early and advise on appropriate care

  • Make subtle adjustments to support long-term growth

  • Offer you time to ask questions or raise any concerns
