Our Story:
Meet Cressy Knuckey – Passionate Gardener & Design Specialist
I’m Cressy Knuckey, a dedicated horticulturist with a deep-rooted love for gardens and a passion for creating beautiful, well-maintained spaces. With over 40 years of family heritage in RHS flower shows, I've been surrounded by plants my whole life. I’ve been honoured to be selected as an RHS Master Grower in 2025 and proudly received a Chelsea Gold Medal in 2024, alongside nine years of varied medals at Hampton court.
My work is driven by a genuine love for nature, care, and detail—whether it's nurturing a garden into full bloom or transforming a garden into a new exciting outside space.

Cressy came to help us with our garden and completely transformed it. She worked solidly for 4 hours and there was not a weed left anywhere. The roots were all removed and the weeds did not grow back. She cleaned up and swept afterwards and all in pouring rain. Highly recommended.
Gila Tatham
Absolutely amazed at how much tidying went in to the hours we paid , in preparation of courtyard makeovers for our Airbnbs Fantastic service and a huge weight off our minds as the gardens have been neglected ☹️ Highly recommend for professional prompt and efficient service

Cressy is one of the best, most experienced gardeners I’ve ever met. Her knowledge appears effortless (although I know how hard she works & time she puts in) & is very approachable. Cressy is incredibly undervalued as a horticulturist. She helped me when I felt overwhelmed in a new space. I’ve gardened before but Cressy helped me to plan things out & where to begin. Genuinely cannot recommend her enough 🌱
