At Tending Gardens, we design beautiful, wild gardens that evolve over time — and help you enjoy growing along the way.


If your garden feels overwhelming or unloved, we’re here to help. Whether you're short on time, unsure where to begin, or simply needing inspiration - we make the process feel simple. From bringing diverse planting to your doorstep, to helping your space suit you better, we support you to garden alongside nature, with creative and thoughtful design.

Tending Gardens is a social enterprise. We not only transform our clients’ gardens, but also support people to garden who might not otherwise have the opportunity to.

Gardening has an amazing capacity to help us feel healthier and happier. It has the power to tend our mental health, communities, and places. We are particularly passionate about supporting young people to grow, learn about plants and find calm, purpose, and connection.

Services

Garden Design  We support you through every step - survey, sketches, concepts, technical plans, and build. Partnering with trusted landscapers, we carefully consider your needs, while bringing nature closer to home.

Planting Design  We help you choose plants that breathe new life into your space, adding seasonal interest, colour and biodiversity. From a small planter to a large border, we’ll grow a haven for wildlife, that’s joyful for people too.


Garden Coaching  Need some gardening advice, or a gardener to work alongside you - supporting you with tips on how to grow? Community group or school? We offer fun, hands-on workshops for all.
Tending Gardens is led by Tierney Lovell, a gardener and designer based in Newport-on-Tay. With a background in architecture and urban design, I’m now connecting my love of design with my passion for gardening. Gardening makes me happy and I want to help more people access its benefits.

I love plant-rich gardens that support biodiversity, creating varied habitats for wildlife and beautiful spaces for people to enjoy.  

I hold a Garden Design Diploma, RHS horticulture qualifications and two degrees in Architecture, alongside being a Pre-Registered Member of the Society of Garden and Landscape Designers.

I look forward to meeting you!
