Cathy

Cathy set up Wild to Wonderful Garden Design in 2004, after many years of training in garden design & RHS horticultural disciplines.

As well as creating design ideas for her customers, she also likes to be hands-on with the creation of their new gardens, advising landscapers during the build and layout, before getting fully involved in the planting of the new borders.

“I am very lucky that I can spend every day indulging my passion in gardening! It is a very rewarding job – you really feel like you are making a real difference to your customers’ lives and that is immensely satisfying.”

Alan

Alan is our in-house landscaping specialist, who turns Cathy’s creative design ideas into reality. His extensive experience and technical knowledge mean that each garden is created to the highest standard, and his friendly and personable character makes it easy to talk through ideas with him throughout your project. He also has a flair for creating bespoke features from wood, from bin stores, gates and fences up to pergolas and bridges to add that special something to your garden.

“After many years of working in a corporate office environment, I am thoroughly enjoying working outside and creating gardens, especially when using Cathy’s visions.  I love being able to build practical and beautiful new outdoor spaces for our customers and find it very rewarding.”

Lesley

Lesley joined the team in 2021 and is our full-time office manager. She manages the day-to-day running of the business, including talking to customers and making their appointments and also helps Cathy on her stand at shows.

“I get to talk to lots of interesting people – both clients and suppliers – and I enjoy learning about how the design side works from Cathy and the build side from Alan.”

Alison

Alison joined the Wild to Wonderful team on a part-time basis in 2011. She helps Cathy with the quotations for the garden tidying and planting projects, but also keeps an eye on the accounts, writes the monthly newsletter and looks after the advertising.

“I really enjoy mixing the creativity of the advertising, the back office regularity of the finances and the customer-focus of the quoting.”

Rachel

Rachel joined the Wild to Wonderful team in 2012 and is a fully trained gardener, with considerable knowledge and experience.  She works with Lluisa performing regular garden tidies for our customers and supports Cathy on planting jobs and garden surveys being the essential person holding the other end of the tape measure!

“I love the variety of working in different customers’ gardens and that no two projects are ever the same.  We have some wonderful customers and it’s great to be involved in the garden transformations! ”

Lluisa

Lluisa is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable gardener and joined the team in 2017 and working alongside Rachel on garden tidy days and assisting Cathy and Alan on larger planting and landscaping projects.

“I really enjoy being outside in the fresh air and working with the team, it’s great to see the difference we can make in just one day in a garden!””
