Testimonials
“Teresa remodelled our front garden 12 months ago. The work included the removal of several long standing bushes and shrubs and the completion of new plantings that show the garden and house in the best light. She has maintained the garden since and has made further changes following her recommendations and our agreement. The result is excellent and included using plants that have flourished in areas of the garden that present difficulties. The overall project is also sensitive to nature and encourages insect and other life. We are very pleased with the outcomes”.
Mr. and Mrs. Langran. Southampton
“ We were looking for someone knowledgeable to care for our garden, that was also willing to mentor me and help me build my gardening skills. We absolutely found that in Teresa. She has been brilliant helping maintain and develop our garden, whilst also sharing her knowledge with me. She is a fun personality and I have enjoyed working with her, in particular our vegetable growing project!”.
Mr. and Mrs. Cartwright. Southampton
“Teresa has transformed our smallish garden which was looking very tired and in need of some tlc. We needed some guidance and Teresa’s enthusiasm and passion was very evident at our first meeting. She listened to our ideas but at the same time put forward her own suggestions. Her horticultural knowledge is excellent and Teresa has given us a garden with year long interest with plants and shrubs that are attractive to birds, bees and butterflies. This is exactly what we asked for and we are thrilled.
We can highly recommend Room for Nature and Teresa and her small team were a pleasure to work with.”

“Choosing Room for nature to design our garden was one of the best decisions ever. In less than a year our garden has been transformed into the most amazing, magical space. The colour and texture combinations, together with thoughtful succession planting provides interest throughout the year. The birds, butterflies, pond bugs, dragonflies, field mice and Mr Mole all have a great time too! We still can’t believe this really is our garden.

“Teresa Lago has completely transformed my mother’s garden in six months into a beautiful haven of colour and smell which attracts butterflies, bees and birds. As well as being very knowledgeable about plants and a highly qualified and incredibly hard working gardener, she is lovely to work with and we really look forward to her visits.”

“Teresa took over as Head Gardener just over a year ago and has taken what were already beautiful gardens, to another level. Her knowledge is excellent. She is hardworking, trustworthy and an absolute pleasure to work with. Our 5 acres of mature, ornamental gardens are the best they have ever been .”
Lee Woodward. New Forest
“Teresa has transformed my garden with her ideas, knowledge, and enthusiasm. It used to be in a sorry state and neglected; now it is an oasis where I want to spend time and relax. Her suggestions for colour schemes and plants were great, and she continues giving much valued assistance even after the planning and planting process is over. Her advice is invaluable, and I cannot praise her team highly enough. Everone is hard-working, courteous and reliable, and I can thus wholeheartedly recommend Teresa and Room for Nature! It’s an absolute pleasure to work with you Teresa!”
Jutta Blackheath. London
“Our garden was one of my husband’s passions. During the year that he lay dying at home, it went to ruin. During my grief, it occurred to me that a new garden would be a meaningful tribute. I came across Teresa’s name during my search on the RHS web-site. We met at my home. She immediately understood both what I wanted and what I needed: a garden full of immense colour, variety and visceral energy. One that would put forth something of beauty all year long. In short, a garden similar in spirit to Ian when he was alive and well. What she created last year, and continues to create and maintain, is a source of endless pleasure. In terms of her horticultural knowledge, skills, imagination, terrific work-ethic and hersheer kindness, Teresa is in a league of her own.”
Chris Garrett, Ladywell. London.
“Room for Nature transformed my overgrown full-of-nettles garden into a delightful easy maintenance space.
The garden is now a much valued space in our house, greatly appreciated by the whole family, especially by my little daughters and myself.
The whole process was completely painless; it was a delight to work with Teresa, who took her time to adapt the garden to my lifestyle, and my then lack of gardening skills. Since the garden was finished, I have received useful advice and support from Room for Nature.”
Maria Gonzalez, East Acton. London.

She has worked on my garden, my sister’s and a family friend’s garden and we were all delighted with the results. Basically her services are dependable, reliable and affordable for every type of budget. We highly recommend her and you will not be disappointed.”
