Where the work comes from

How introductions flow for a garden designer

The warmest introductions rarely come from online advertising. Instead, they come from businesses who already talk to homeowners wanting more from their outdoor space. This is why landscapers, architects and estate agents make strong referral partners for any garden designer, in Chelmsford or anywhere in Essex.

Inside a Thursday meeting

We meet every Thursday from 6:30am to 8:30am, before most working days begin. Every week you get at least a minute to present your services – roughly double some other networking groups allow. Outside the meeting, members book 1-2-1s to understand who makes a good referral, and we have a genuine social side too.

Not at all. Our members come from across Essex, so any great garden designer nearby is welcome.
