For the right business

Are you a garden designer in Brentwood?

The seat is yours to claim, and only one. EBF only ever accepts one garden designer, so any garden design enquiry our members come across comes straight to you. Brentwood is just a few minutes from our Thursday meeting in the town itself, close to junction 28 of the M25.

Where the work comes from

Why introductions flow for a garden designer

Your best referrals rarely come from online marketing. Instead, they come from people who regularly talk to homeowners wanting more from their outdoor space – usually right at spring or a new house move. That’s why landscapers, architects and estate agents make such strong allies for every garden designer.

Inside a Thursday meeting

We meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, so it’s done before your working day starts. Each week you have at least a minute to present your services. Between meetings, you’ll arrange 1-2-1s to understand what each other is looking for, and we have a strong social side too.

Questions

Can I recommend someone outside Brentwood?

No. EBF members travel in from all over Essex, so a trusted garden designer in the area is welcome.

Do I have to join after my first visit?

No. Your first visit is free, and you’re under no obligation to join. Join us one Thursday, see how the meeting runs and decide for yourself.
