London landscape gardeners looking forward to good times as city goes green?

Landscape gardeners in London could be looking forward to a boom as city dwellers think green by transforming their gardens in to floral sanctuaries to escape the stresses of urban life.

Clinton Foakes, a builder who employs landscape gardeners in London said the trend, which has seen more green spaces established in the city’s yards, was a good development for Londoners generally.

Also making a difference, guerrilla gardeners have been out performing London landscape gardening jobs at night in random areas like car parks and roundabouts to brighten dull urban areas.

In addition, web sites like guerrillagardening.org and urbangardeningmagazine.com have been appearing online in recent years; demonstrating a new enthusiasm among city dwellers determined to make a difference.

London’s Borough councils do a lot to enhance the greenery on their own patches by planting flowers, shrubs and trees, but with ordinary Londoners joining the fight against the eternal urban greyness, the city may enjoy a stunning array of  vibrancy and colour in the near future.

 London landscape gardeners’ initiatives for householders do not have to mean dramatic alterations like building ponds and patios: less is sometimes more.

Hanging baskets, grow bags and window boxes can provide a hint of colour, which can radically improve the appearance and character of an area. 

“It’s a great thing for all Londoners to be able to enjoy a bit more green space and floral decoration in the busy city; the phenomenon of guerrilla gardening in particular shows how people are even  inclined to take direct action in an attempt to make the city a more pleasant place to be.” Said Clinton Foakes

 “London landscape gardeners’ work is definitely a market niche which has grown over recent years as we become more environmentally aware and more inclined to make the best of our surroundings,” He added.
