Welcome to Tim’s Gardening
English-Speaking Gardening Services in France
Hi there ~ I’m Tim. I have over 25 years of gardening experience, now living and working in the heart of the Limousin, near Royère-de-Vassivière.
If you’ve moved to France and need a reliable English-speaking gardener, or you’re running a gîte and want to keep the garden looking its best, I’m here to help. From regular maintenance and hedge cutting to garden blitzes and tidy-ups before guests arrive ~ I’ve got you covered.
It’s a small, family-run business ~ I’m the one out in the gardens, and my wife Tanya helps with admin (and she’s happy to lend a hand with gîte changeovers too, if needed!).
We also work with local French clients:
Nous proposons aussi l’entretien de jardins pour les habitants locaux ~ n’hésitez pas à nous contacter.
Have a browse around the site and get in touch if you’d like to book in. I mostly work in the local area but can travel for one-off jobs. Spaces are limited ~ so don’t leave it too late!
