Trust the Plant Concierge at Gates to solve your planting problems.
Shady corners that never quite work? Overlooked or awkward spaces? Limited time for garden maintenance? Not sure which tree to choose? Exposed, sun-baked beds?
Book a 45-minute one-to-one consultation with our Horticultural Support expert Jodie, and transform your planting dilemmas into confident decisions.
Your session will begin with a 1-2-1 relaxed chat about your main gardening challenge. Together, you’ll explore practical, achievable solutions tailored specifically to your space, lifestyle and level of maintenance.
You’ll then enjoy a guided walk around our Horticultural Area, where Jodie will personally hand-select her top plant recommendations — giving you the very best chance of success in achieving your garden goals. Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive a simple pre-Concierge questionnaire so Jodie can fully understand your space and make the most of your time together.
Hi, I’m Jodie
“Gardening has been a passion of mine for many years. While I love seeing my own garden thrive, what I enjoy even more is helping our customers create gardens they feel proud of — especially when solving a tricky planting problem.
Let’s chat about that difficult corner or the plant that just won’t thrive. Together, we’ll find the right solution and turn it into something you can truly be proud of.
I look forward to meeting you.”
