Questionnaire

Here are the questions that is useful for you to look at before we meet. It will help you focus on what you would like from your garden and gives me a clearer idea of what your needs are.

There is a pdf version of my Garden Design Questionnaire.

It would be useful if you could e-mail or post it to me before we meet – but if not, then filling it in so that we can look at it together is very helpful.

Please also include your contact details on your email.
