About Alex
Your gardener — and your garden's steady hand
Garden Care Plus is Alex: an independent, local gardener who has spent years caring for gardens across West Kent. When you become a client, Alex is your same trusted local gardener, every visit — weekly or fortnightly, all year round.
The story
A local gardener, building something personal
Alex started Garden Care Plus with a simple belief: that gardens are best looked after by one person who comes to know them — not by a rotating team or a string of contractors who never quite learn the place.
Based in Tonbridge and working across Hadlow and selected West Kent villages, Alex keeps the business deliberately small. A limited number of gardens, each cared for properly, through every season of the year.
It's a quieter way of doing things, and a rarer one. The result is a genuine, ongoing relationship between a gardener, a garden and the people who love it — the kind of care that only comes from someone who's there, consistently, for the long term.
A word from Alex
“I've always felt a garden is best cared for by someone who knows it — who's watched it through spring and winter, who notices the small things. That's the service I wanted to build: personal, reliable, and genuinely invested in each garden I look after.”
— Alex
What matters to Alex
A few principles behind the work
The way Alex gardens is shaped by a handful of simple commitments — to your garden, and to you.
Continuity over convenience
Alex takes on a limited number of gardens so each one is cared for properly — never squeezed in between jobs, never handed to someone new.
Quiet, considered work
No fuss, no noise for its own sake. Just careful, knowledgeable gardening done well, week after week, in tune with the seasons.
Honest local knowledge
Years of working in West Kent gardens means Alex knows what thrives here — and will always tell you plainly what your garden needs, and what it doesn't.
