About
Magpie Gardening
"One for sorrow, two for joy."
For years we have loved this old adage, as well as the magpies associated with it. When it came time to think of a name for our blossoming company, we could think of no better than a symbol of joy through the ages. We hope that when you come to think of us, Magpie Gardening brings you joy. We are currently made up of our Owner and Head Gardener Alex Beedle, as well as Bethan Willey, our Garden Designer and Operations Support.
We offer a unique approach to gardening that focuses on promoting local and native plant growth. Our gardening and rewilding techniques prioritise the preservation of the natural ecosystem and the British flora and fauna. At our core, we value caring for nature, as well as the people we serve.
