Mr & Mrs Hogbin Colchester Gardeners
Hello, my name is Agn Hogbin (yes, Hogbin's our real surname, we're not just a faceless company). I studied up to a Masters level in Environmental Science and did a Horticulture Internship in USA at Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania and also Harold L. Lyon Arboretum, University of Hawai'i at Mnoa.

I also worked at FitzGerald Nurseries & Micropropagation laboratory in Ireland. People say I have an encyclopedic knowledge of plants, I must admit I have spent many years identifying different plants and have got pretty good at it. Once recognised, I can then find the best plant care information and put it into practice.
Services
We design with plants. The backbone of a well-planned bed or border scheme is a beautifully designed planting plan or photo plant lists. The secret to creating a successful bed or border is to make certain that the soil is prepared thoroughly before planting begins. Regular, long-term pruning, cutting back and replacing plants ensures beautiful and long-lasting beds and borders all year around.
Lets talk about The "Bees and the Peas" of gardening. We offer expert planting plan designs, shopping for the best plants, soil improvement and reliable long-term maintenance. So, you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the pleasures of your garden. Together we can professionally design with plants in your garden; using a planting plan or a plant list to make your garden blooming gorgeous.
A simple photo planting list, or just a great idea, may be all you need to get started. Sometimes you don't even need a plan; we can just get stuck into the purchasing, planting and pruning. By letting go of our plans we can let our gardens grow and flourish naturally. Just decide on a style, and then our plant lists are literally made for you, bespoke - These lists are made for you with a higher level of expertise and creativity.

Agne and Neil always work hard in my garden. Throughout the winter they keep it very tidy and in summer it looks alive with colour. Agne's horticultural knowledge is so useful as she can offer sound advice on planting and colour schemes. They are both a great asset and I enjoy their visits.
