Who POTTS & PLANTS are...

Potts & Plants is run by Kay Potts, who provides a garden consultancy, plant design and planting service. 

She aims to offer bespoke ideas and designs by listening to what you want from your outside space.

Whether your garden is a newly landscaped blank canvas, or an already established garden to adapt, she delivers an appealing planting solution for all.

Potts & Plants offer one-off maintenance solutions and garden clearance too.

The photographs on the website have all been taken by Kay - a new service offering photographic prints will be coming soon!

Background


I started Potts & Plants to help friends and family with gardening in 2016 after having my two children. And I haven't looked back since!

I have a wealth of botanical and horticulture knowledge, firstly from my mum who is an avid gardener, to setting up a private client base offering plant and garden maintenance in Cheltenham and surrounding area.

Through networking, I met other self employed gardeners and assisted as part of a team on garden projects such as:-

  • planting schemes 
  • tree surgery
  • estate maintenance 
  • woodland maintenance
  • garden clearance

Since May 2021, my experience has expanded further by working part time at Stuart Shackell Horticultral Supplies, a wonderful tree, shrub and plant nursery based in Little Shurdington, Cheltenham.

In January 2022, I changed my focus to offer consultancy, design and planting as my individual niche business, fitting around the plant nursery and family life.

I love not only providing planting ideas through horticulture, but meeting clients and offering practical advice to make your space a beautiful setting for you to spend time in for the future.
Whether a newly landscaped, blank canvas garden, to well established grounds requiring additional structure or colour; every garden will get the attention it deserves, to make the most of the space and unlock it's potential.
