Natalie the Autistic Gardener was born because as an autistic woman who faces many of the challenges commonly associated with autism, I wanted to try and find a way of giving more representation to people like myself who do not necessarily display those challenges visibly.

Autism is often very much an internal condition, particularly in females because of their increased ability to mask, meaning that many are either misdiagnosed, or alternatively have to endure years without receiving a diagnosis.

Aspects of autism that I face challenges with on a daily basis include eye contact, severe fatigue and anxiety. Some days I find myself being able to communicate clearly and effectively, whereas on other days I find it hard to speak at all.

I believe that autism is very much a diverse complexity and that not any one person who has autism or their experiences are the same.

It is my hope that by giving an insight through the eyes of just one person living with this complex condition that I am able to create some awareness through my gardening business, whilst at the same time striving to deliver the highest standards that I can for my clients.

My mum’s love of plants and passion for our own garden has had a profound effect on me since my childhood, and it was my mum who originally encouraged and helped me to set up my own gardening business. Over the last twelve years I have built up my skills and increased my standards to create a business that has given back to me in more ways than I could ever have dreamt of when I started out all those years ago. I find gardening not only beneficial to my physical health, but also therapeutic, it keeps me humble and grateful to be alive, and without my mum none of that would have been possible.

I would not describe myself as being necessarily passionate about plants however what I do enjoy is trying to make a difference in my clients gardens. I want all of my clients to be happy first and foremost, that is what matters to me.

Client Feedback

  • Natalie came to help me at the tail end of last year (2024) as I wanted to tidy up the garden for the winter. With the brighter weather I have recently started to spend more time in the garden so can see what excellent work she has done. Natalie likes precise instructions and she will do as you have asked. She is completely self reliant (bringing her own refreshments) and works hard without needing any further guidance. I would have no hesitation to call upon Natalie when I need some more help in the garden.

  • Natalie has worked for us a few times. She is reliable and hard working and put a membrane down for us to suppress weeds which has worked well.

  • Natalie did such a great job sorting out the mess of my front garden. Would definitely recommend!

    Ellie (High Wycombe)

  • Natalie is amazing, would highly recommend! My garden had started to become a little overgrown so I asked for her help, and she did the most thorough job! It looks so much better since and I’m happy to go out there now and enjoy the sun. She’s kind and polite, and someone who genuinely cares about her quality of work. Thank you!

My experience lies primarily in the field of garden maintenance and soft landscaping, and most of the aspects that cover these two areas.

I am not a horticulture expert and I do not hold any qualifications in this field or any other field, however if you are looking for a gardener who is reliable, consistently hard working and consistently delivers a good standard of work, then I may be the right gardener for you.

  • Garden Maintenance

    This covers weeding, edging, lawn mowing, pruning, trimming/shaping, hedge cutting (except at height up ladders) and the basic general garden maintenance jobs.

    I work with most of my clients on a schedule of one visit per month. I am also happy to work with my clients on an ad hoc basis as well.

    Please feel free to message for more information and let’s formulate a plan that works best to suit your requirements.

  • Planting and Soft Landscaping

    If I am required to order supplies myself for a planting or soft landscaping project, then there will be an additional cost for those supplies as well as for my time in doing so, which will require and upfront payment in full before any order is made.

    This additional cost does not include the labour time that it takes for me to do the project. Please feel free to message for more information.
