programmes

Every McCormack Noble Cultivate garden receives the same high standard of care.

The annual programme is tailored to ensure that the time and attention given to each garden reflects what it genuinely needs. Gardens will typically receive regular visits throughout the year, with the frequency and duration of visits adjusted according to seasonal requirements.

For many gardens, this will involve a two-person team attending for regular visits, with additional time allocated at key points in the year when the garden requires more intensive attention.

Your bespoke annual programme sets out the care included throughout the year. If your garden would benefit from any work beyond this, we'll discuss the options and costs with you first. Any additional work will only go ahead with your agreement.

Services:

  • An annual review of the garden by its designer and / or a senior member of the McCormack Noble team

  • Ongoing communication regarding any issues or recommended works

approach

Biodiversity is considered throughout the cultivation of every garden.

As part of the annual programme, we will undertake a complimentary biodiversity assessment, considering opportunities to improve habitat and support wildlife within the existing garden.

Depending on the garden and the client's wishes, this may include:

  • Creating and maintaining habitat for pollinators

  • Retaining suitable deadwood and natural materials

  • Supporting healthy soil life and improving soil biodiversity

  • Creating areas of shelter and habitat

  • Encouraging wildlife-friendly lawn management

  • Incorporating bird boxes, bat boxes, bee bricks and hedgehog holes where appropriate

  • Identifying opportunities to improve connectivity and habitat throughout the garden

Any additional habitat features or installation works will be discussed and agreed with the client before proceeding.
