Having completed a Masters in Mining Engineering Will spent a year working for a Tree Nursery then 6 years as a Project Manager for Groundworks and Infrastructure Projects around the UK. His passion for the outdoors and all things nature meant he spent a considerable amount of his free time developing his own garden and those of friends and families too.
In 2020 he decided to take the plunge and complete an RHS course in Garden Planning and subsequently set up Horticultural Horace making his dreams of working outdoors in nature a reality.
Will's experience in mining and project management combined with his love of the countryside and gardening knowledge is a perfect combination. He has all the necessary skills to plan and execute all manner of garden or landscape design and maintenance projects.

Testimonials
Chris, Trevor and Ozzie
Will undertook two projects in our garden this year and we are thrilled with his work. Will is very professional and approachable; generously giving excellent, friendly, honest advice on all aspects of gardening. He has exciting but very practical ideas. Will completely redesigned, built and planted a new border and sowed a new meadow area; whilst recognising the existing cottage style of our garden. He worked extremely hard whilst he was on site and also gave very helpful, practical feedback for any on going maintenance. We enjoyed having Will working in our garden, including our dog Ozzie, and would thoroughly recommend him to others. All excellent!

Again, many, many thanks for the work - the front gardens look amazing and will only get better! We’ve had so many comments already. Look forward to receiving the back garden quote.

Thank you so much for the tremendous work you did transforming that mess into the wonderful space it is to be in now. First call of business last night was sit out in it with beer and nibbles.

William, just want to say a huge thank you for what you have done for us this week. I can't thank you enough for helping us achieve a beautiful 'cottage garden' in every aspect whether it was slogging your guts out hauling material through the house or precision hardscape carpentry. I look forward to watching your business grow and wish you all the best with Horticultural Horace.
Ed
The work you have done looks fantastic. Top man. Thank you.

We are delighted with our garden and I wholeheartedly recommend Horticultural Horace. Every part of the process was enjoyable and easy - Will listened to our requirements, then designed and built a garden perfect for our needs - family friendly, easy to maintain and lots of room for growing veg.
He took care of all aspects required - removing our large garage, laying new lawn, and also paying incredible attention to detail ensuring every flowerbed was completely level, even adding in personal touches including a bird's house from a leftover part of a fence post.
Will was a joy to have around, my son cried when he left and still looks out of the window asking for him. Thank you Will!

Will helped us with the maintenance of our large cottage garden and woodland. He is very hard working, reliable and approachable. It was great to work with someone who was equally happy and adept at felling trees or tidying the lawn and flower beds.

Our very large, steep and overgrown bed has been beautifully transformed using stepped terracing and a selection of easy to maintain plants. It really is a feat of engineering, making a huge difference to the look and feel of the garden. Will kept us fully informed throughout the process, was friendly and extremely considerate. We couldn’t be more delighted.
