RHS Level 3 Qualified Gardener
Garden, landscape and plant care services, working in Poole, Bournemouth, Wimborne and the surrounding areas.
Meet Toby
I’m a former Royal Marine Commando with an RHS Level 3 qualification and over eight years’ experience working in high-end private and commercial gardens across Central London. During this time, I worked under two nationally recognised Top 50 garden designers, contributing to projects delivered to the highest industry standards. Early in my career, I was a regional finalist for Young Horticulturist of the Year, which helped shape my professional approach and reinforced the importance of strong plant knowledge, consistency, and attention to detail.
I have a genuine passion for the outdoors and nature, and I take pride in delivering consistently high-quality work with care, reliability, and professionalism at the core of everything I do.
After relocating to Poole, I founded Marine Green Horticulture to bring the same level of expertise and standards to gardens across the local area. I offer garden maintenance and design, alongside specialist indoor planting and plant maintenance, helping clients create spaces that are both attractive and sustainable, indoors and out.
My approach to garden & plant care
I believe great gardens come from working with nature, not against it.
As a former Royal Marine, I bring professionalism, reliability, discipline, and attention to detail to every garden I work in. I combine traditional hard work with modern, sustainable gardening practices to create outdoor spaces that are healthy, practical, and enjoyable year-round.
I work closely with clients to help bring their vision to life, offering honest advice and practical solutions tailored to each garden. Whether it’s restoring an overgrown space, improving planting and soil health, or creating a garden that’s easier to maintain, I take pride in delivering work to a high standard.
Using good horticultural practice, biological methods where possible, and eco-friendly tools, I focus on long-term garden health while supporting biodiversity and reducing unnecessary chemical use.
For me, gardening is more than maintenance it’s about creating outdoor spaces that people genuinely enjoy spending time in and that continue to improve season after season.
