Back gardens in Deptford can be wonderfully useful, but they are not always easy to work in.

If you garden in Deptford, you already know the awkward bit is not always the planting or the pruning.

If you have ever agreed a price for garden work and then felt your stomach sink when the final bill arrived, you are not alone.

If you live near Deptford Dockyard and your outdoor space is more "tight and tricky" than "grand and sprawling," you already know the challenge. Small yards can be brilliant, but only if they're planned well.

If you crave a private oasis right in your backyard, balcony, or patio, tall-potted plants are the ultimate secret weapon.
