"Our new garden is wonderful and Robert has interpreted our ideas perfectly to create a contemporary city garden which is both visually stunning and manageable. It is a pleasure to look on and I would recommend him to anyone." - Mrs M, Cambridge

“The garden is looking lovely thanks, and we’re really enjoying watching the front as different plants flower...you've done such a great job. We appreciated your professional service – yet with a personal touch - and your impressive horticultural knowledge! We would strongly recommend you to others” Mr & Mrs J, Burwell

“Thanks so much for your input into my garden... I’m really grateful for your creativity with the design and also your practical skills that enabled it to work on the ground” Ms H, Cambridge.

"From his first visit to my property Robert quickly grasped what I had in mind to alter the layout and the type of planting I was thinking of. We worked together as the project evolved incorporating any ideas I had with his and giving good reason where mine would not be a good idea. I never felt he was overcharging for his services and he was very good at sourcing plants at the best price and quality. I am delighted with the finished result. I would strongly recommend Robert." Mrs L, Cambridge

"Robert has been wonderful in all the advice, planning and planting of what was a completely new garden last year. All I had was 95 feet of turf, now I have beautiful shaped beds, full of perennials and five lovely trees. He works amazingly hard, always listens to what you are hoping to achieve and knows all the plants which will help you do that. Nothing is imposed. I recommend having regular reviews if you have a new garden, as that helps in planning for seasons to come. I couldn’t recommend this service highly enough". Mrs M, Cottenham

“With Roberts help the garden is beautifully colour co-ordinated”
Mrs G, Burwell

“The garden that was disorganised and neglected now looks bigger and so much more “together”, I am very pleased with the garden. Thanks.”
Mrs C, Wilburton

“We were recommended to meet Robert Hanchet who runs the FIVE SEASONS Garden business as we needed advise on our garden in a new property we had bought. His advice on the layout and the plants and shrubs we were looking for to give us a year round garden with little or no work on planting and maintenance was very helpful. After six months we enjoy a varied and colourful display with amazing fragrances and attracting both Bees and Butterflies. His detail in the layout was very helpful and the whole plan and execution met both our wishes and budget.”
Mr & Mrs D, Newmarket

Robert is so knowledgeable and intuitive - he totally understood what we were wanting and has created a garden that is just perfect to our needs. Really professional and at the same time personable making him a great person to work with. Highly recommend him. Mrs A, Fordham

Robert has a fantastic knowledge of plants and planting and we are thrilled with what he has acheived in our garden! Mr L, Hertfordshire
