Find the Right Plants for Your Garden
Answer six quick questions about the spot you're planting and we'll suggest plants genuinely suited to it, and to the heavy clay soil most gardens across Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Putney and the rest of Southwest London have to deal with.
Takes about a minute. No need to know any plant names to begin.
Where is this planting going?
How much light does it get?
How does the soil behave after rain?
How much upkeep do you want to give it?
Year-round interest, or mainly a summer show?
Want it to be wildlife-friendly?
Want a hand choosing and getting these in the ground?
This is a starting point, not a planting plan — the right combination still depends on your exact soil, space and how everything sits together. If you'd like expert advice, or want us to source and plant for you, get in touch with The Southwest London Gardener and we'll help you take it from here.
