Hey Vicky! Tell us about your business

As a Garden Designer and Consultant, I help busy professionals create their dream garden, so that they can spend more time relaxing outdoors, and enjoying themselves with friends and family.

I also work creating small public space gardens, often to help an organisation communicate a particular idea or theme, or simply to give their guests and staff the opportunity to take a nature-filled break during the day.

What drove you to start your business?

I’d originally wanted to be a landscape architect, but followed another path for 20 years. After re-training, a good friend challenged me to follow my dream and try to make a difference to peoples’ well-being.

What particular challenges did you have to overcome in setting up your business, and since then?

The huge amounts of administrative tasks (all necessary) whilst also trying to build a reputation and client base and do great work for current clients.

Why did you choose The Accountancy Partnership?

Simplicity, support, great tools.

Have we helped you overcome any challenges, and if so, how?

You’ve just been great, answering my questions and pointing me in the right direction – quickly.

What do you have planned for your business in the future?

I’m aiming to secure bigger projects and collaborate with other designers to deliver these, whilst also developing deivery partnerships.
