Mark Whenman
Gardener on the Lizard, Cornwall
Mark was introduced to us by my sister for whom he had been providing help with her garden.
We had a seriously overgrown garden in our second home. The garden consisted of three terraces built into the side of a precipitous rock face. There was a gravel garden at ground level containing a number of rose bushes, a further garden on the second level consisting of an access up the side of the rock face very overgrown with ivy and uncut hedging. A small overgrown lawn with a mass of weeds, a large number of very untidy and overgrown bushes including yucca, rhododendron, fuchsia, variegated ivy and further rose bushes. A third garden which was accessed by a very awkward path, which was a complete wilderness.
Every task we set Mark was completed in the grounds and second sections of the gardens resulting in a complete transformation of each area. His work rate judging from the tasks he completed must have been phenomenal and were very sorry to lose him due to his move back to England.

Mark has been an excellent and reliable gardener in all respects over the past three years and we are sorry to see him go.

We had been let down by our previous gardener a few times, turning up late or not at all, so on recommendation switched to Mark and have been very pleased since.
We have a small garden at the front and the back of our bungalow that we used to enjoy caring for. Sadly, due to illness we are no longer able to look after it as we used to. Mark comes round on a weekly basis and keeps the garden looking exactly how we want it to, including keeping large hedges in good shape. He is punctual, hard working and polite. We would highly recommend him.

I found Mark Whenman a very satisfactory gardener. He was a pleasant person to deal with, was reliable in terms of time keeping and quick to complete the work that was required of him.
Although he was working as a gardener and assistant with my woodturning business he very kindly brought his camera and used his considerable skill as a photographer to make some great product shots for me.

Mark proved to be utterly reliable. He worked unsupervised for 8 hours each month, using some of our own garden equipment, which he left in excellent condition. We strongly recommend him as an honest, reliable and hardworking young man.
