If you are trying to work out the real cost of a Covent Garden gardener per hour and per job, you are probably past the "rough idea" stage.

Courtyards in Covent Garden are funny little spaces. They look simple from the street, yet once you step inside, you realise every inch matters.

If you have ever received a garden maintenance quote and thought, "Hang on, where did that extra cost come from?", you are not alone.

Transforming your garden, balcony, or patio into a private retreat is easier than you think.
