A little about me
Hello, I’m Tom.
I started Bon Gardening because I believe gardens don’t need to be complicated to feel beautiful.
I enjoy helping people care for what they already have — whether that’s regular maintenance, restoring overgrown borders, or simply keeping a garden looking its best through the seasons.
My approach is thoughtful, respectful and reliable. Every garden is different, and I take the time to understand what will help it flourish naturally.

Reveal what's already there
Most of the gardens I am called to do not need new plants, or a new design, or a new anything. They need to be reminded of themselves.

Euphorbia — the quiet backbone of a Suffolk border
If I had to choose a single plant that holds a Suffolk border together through the awkward weeks between spring and full summer, it would be euphorbia. Not showy. Just quietly there, doing the work.

Geum — small, generous and long-flowering
Geum is one of those plants I keep coming back to because it flowers for longer than it has any right to, and asks almost nothing in return.
