Welcome to Potter's Garden Services

Simon Potter founded Potter's Garden Services in 2010. After many years working in commercial grounds maintenance, he gained a degree in Garden Design and Horticulture, and decided to branch off and build his own business.

By working with clients to create beautiful planting plans and by getting his hands dirty, Simon enjoys seeing the huge difference some care and preparation can make to a garden and, in turn, PGS's clients.

When he's not in a garden, Simon can be found on a bike - Simon is a keen cyclist who plans to cycle across the USA next year.

David has been gardening professionally for 6 years and has been with PGS since the start of his career. He decided to pursue gardening because he loves being outside and comes from a farming background. David is currently working towards his RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture where he is particularly enjoying studying the make-up of plants.

In his spare time, David enjoys watching musicals with his wife, spending time with friends and watching sports.

Tom joined the team in 2019 after deciding to leave an office job to turn his love of gardening from a hobby to a career. Tom is also currently studying for his RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture. So far, he is enjoying learning about garden planning, establishment and maintenance.

He lives with his fiancée and their cat, and his love of photography and the guitar brings an extra creative streak to the team.

Harriet studied floristry after leaving school and continued onto a Higher Diploma in Floristry, which aids immensely towards her plant knowledge and care. After pursuing a career away from plants, Harriet has come back to her roots and is now studying for her RHS Level 2 diploma in Horticulture. She is particularly keen in sustainable and eco-friendly gardening practices. Harriet lives with her husband, their cat and puppy, and spends most weekends camping and walking or having BBQs with friends.

Shannon has come from a career in childcare to follow her love and fascination for our natural world. She has just finished her Level 2 apprenticeship in Horticulture and is now further expanding her knowledge and skills. Shannon is very passionate about sustainability and conservation, and wishes to connect her horticultural career with her values. 

She enjoys spending her free time outdoors delivering bush craft parties, exploring various parts of the UK or tucked up under a blanket reading a book.
