Background

About James Foster

I studied horticulture and Garden Design at Pershore College in Worcestershire to HND level and on graduation moved to London in 2001 to work for Clifton Nurseries and the London based landscaping firm Gardenlink."For four years I was lucky enough to build and maintain some lovely gardens and work with well known garden designers such as Andy Sturgeon and Jinny Blom. This helped build my experience and fuel my passion for gardening". I then became Landscaping Manager for the Boma Garden Company based in North London and managed many new gardens projects for a further 5 years. In 2010 I moved to North Dorset and set up my own business, James Foster Landscaping. We specialise in high quality garden maintenance, planting, design and supply as well as the full range of garden Landscaping services. Garden consultations and estimates are free and I'm able to assist with garden design and planting suggestions. I currently live near Tisbury in Wiltshire and work across the north Dorset and south Somerset and Wiltshire areas. In 2020 I launched my working horse based business, Wessex Working Horses. This was the culmination of many years of training and placement opportunities to give me the skills to offer a full low impact forestry service using horses to extract timber. I offer a low impact fell and extract service as well as various conservation services such as bracken control and wild flower meadow maintenance and creation.
