Getting started with a garden project is usually the daunting bit. This is where Garden Magic can help. Friendly, reliable and experienced local gardener who offers guidance, advice and of course manual help. Trudy explains ‘I have worked for over 35 years in administrative and secretarial roles, which although very rewarding, my true passion was to be outside, exploring ideas and enjoying my garden. I have a creative eye and like to work with plants that not only give colour and fragrance but offer texture as well.’ Trudy has lived in East Preston just over 23 years with her husband and two sons. ‘As a family, we were keen for our boys to understand the benefits and taste of home grown produce – the flavour speaks for itself!’ So, if you need a helping hand with border maintenance - shaping and weeding, creating a vista, lawn mowing and edging or a one off tidy up - Garden Magic would be perfect. Trudy is happy to engage with ideas for creating planting schemes such as Herbaceous border planting, a rockery or a kitchen garden.

Trudy has attended gardening courses run by the Juliet Sargeant Sussex Garden School and attended talks on garden management. In her spare time, Trudy enjoys crafting and has in the past created garden objects from weaving willow. She now Decoupages items for ‘al fresco’ dining together with assembling Garden Flower Art from recycled glass and china. Trudy can often be discovered exhibiting at local Craft Fairs and the major Handmade Craft Fair held at Sussex Prairie Gardens, nr. Henfield each summer.
