Helen Young Horticulturist is based in Willoughby on Sydney's leafy North Shore, and has been established since 1993. Specialising in garden renovations, I offer garden consultations, design, plants supply and assistance with a range of soft landscaping services. My aim is to create beautiful and functional gardens that suit the needs of my clients.
The business is well-respected within the industry and operates chiefly on word-of-mouth recommendation. I am a member of the Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers (AILDM) and the winner of the Plantscape Design Award in the 2008 AILDM Landscape Design Awards.
You might know my weekly garden columns in The Weekend Australian Magazine, read my stories in House and Garden magazine, or heard me on radio as one of the regulars on ABC Sydney Radio's gardening talkback show on Saturday mornings.Horticulture is the art or science of cultivating gardens. A horticulturist has expert knowledge about plants - their selection, uses, cultivation and care.

Services
The garden consultation provides two hours of advice, ideas and planning with you in your garden. It is particularly suited to people who aren't sure what they could or should be doing to upgrade their garden, and want some help on how to proceed. Discuss ideas to improve or redesign your garden- whether you're working to a budget or want to be inspired by new possibilities.
We can help you with anything from small clean-up projects to landscaping around new houses and pools, to preparing properties for sale. We specialise in garden renovations, turning a tired, overgrown or dated garden into a garden you can be proud of. Fixed price quotes are prepared for this type of work from one of our preferred contractors.
We offer a limited design service for clients where appropriate, and can recommend dedicated landscape designers where a complete design service is required. The cost varies considerably, depending on the size of your site, the base plans available to start work on, the complexities of the design and the type of plans required.
Water restrictions don't mean you have to give up any plans for having a beautiful garden. Your garden is still very important in terms of your quality of life, your family activities, your property value and the environment at large. Water restrictions do mean we have to rethink how we garden, how we "spend" water and how we save and recycle water.
