"We would highly recommend Moongate’s Border Creation Service! They were incredibly helpful throughout the planning stage and with their expertise they were able to suggest a gorgeous selection of plants that would suit our garden (part shade, part full sun). They designed a garden full of bee friendly plants, shrubs with lots of different flowers and foliage, and a mix of plants that will give us year round interest.
Melanie and Claire planted up their design this week and it is absolutely perfect, exactly what we were looking for! We can’t wait to watch it mature and establish and change through the seasons.
Thank you for creating our perfect garden!"

A garden in North Telford, planted in 2022, we recently returned to create another border, with standard Olives and Trachelospermums
The front borders now bursting with colour, the brief was high impact and colourful! Pots simply planted with Salix Nishiki underplanted with Alpinesraph.
Above is a project in North of Telford, a very modern scheme with intricate hard landscaping, using Acer griseum multi stem, Cornus Midwinter Fire, Calamagrostis Karl Foerster and Pittosporum Golf Ball dominating the schemer graph.
This garden in Kinver was planted in 2021, the owners sent us these photos of how the garden is looking this year. Quite the transformation.
A new build in Hagley with just a lawn for a back garden, so we created a large wrap around border with many evergreens and perennials for colour, the fence is painted to compliment the plants.
Border work at Kinver, creating drift planting within four quadrants for long interest, each quadrant being a slightly different style. New hedging.
Above is a new border that we created, it is in both full sun and complete shade. We cleared, prepped, planted it accordingly and top dressed it.
"Melanie from Moongate Plant Centre recently came to our home to provide the most beautiful border.
We heard about the service that Moongate offered when visiting their wonderful Plant Centre and realised that it was what we had been looking for. We had searched everywhere and no one was offering this detailed service which as a bonus was also free of charge.
Melanie arranged for us to have a chat along with photographs of the border area that needed lots of attention. We gave our ideas and she extended them, stating what would work well all year round, what colours we liked and would benefit the area, whether we needed shady areas, what the rest of the garden looked like, etc. She was unbelievably thorough and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble.
We liaised via email throughout, sending photographs of the area, Melanie sending ideas until we came up with the perfect creation. We were given the costings throughout and decided to have Melanie plant the border and what a wonderful job she did.
Throughout, she has been professional and a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend Moongate Plant Centre and their wonderful service and would definitely use them again. Thank you!"

"I am very happy with the results of the hard work & planting you both did yesterday. It has transformed my small garden from neat(ish) but boring, to a very pretty oasis which I shall be delighted to watch grow & develop through the seasons.
The contrasts in colours, shades, density & heights & the inclusion of scented shrubs are aesthetically very pleasing. It's impossible to pick one out of all the choices we agreed on but I'm particularly looking forward to the emergence of the 'thyme lawn' which you suggested as an alternative to the patch of grass by the gate (which was always difficult to cut with the mower) & the winter clematis & hellebore are already very attractive. I love the mirror too.
Thank you for all your initial & ongoing friendly input & suggestions based upon my ideas of the sort of plants I would like. The visit to your Plant Centre was also very helpful to see plants in situ rather than just in a photo. Paperwork & quotation were very efficient & I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others."
