Hello, Im Ella
I’m a trained horticulturist with a passion for plants, thoughtful planting and helping gardens thrive.
Through Ella’s Plantas, I work with the character of each garden, creating planting and providing horticultural care that is practical, considered and designed to develop with the seasons.

My approach
I believe good horticulture starts with understanding the garden, its plants, soil, seasons and natural character.
I’m particularly interested in planting that supports biodiversity, wildlife and the wider health of the garden, including edible, medicinal and pollinator-friendly plants.
My approach is practical and nature-led: working with the character of each space and choosing plants that can thrive there for years to come.
