How we write
Guides are for UK gardens: British English, UK seasons, and advice that still works on clay, in a wet spring, or on a small patio.

Named authors
Every guide has a byline. The author page is where you read their background and other work.
-
Answer first
We put the useful bit at the top, then the detail. Hire guides explain what you are paying for — they are not a site visit.

Guides are general information, not a prescription for your plot. Email [email protected] if something is unclear.
The gardener directory
Listings are compiled so you can compare gardeners and landscapers by town or city. Names, addresses, and contact details come from public sources and from gardeners who claim their profile. We do not guarantee that every listing is current.
Browsing is free. A free account unlocks phone numbers, websites, and email quotes. Any contract is between you and the gardener — Spadeshire is not a party to the work.
If you run a gardening business, find your listing and claim it. If something looks wrong, registered users can report it from the profile page.
