About Jon Powell , The Welcome Gardner
Hello, I'm Jon Powell, a landscape garden designer and creator running my own business in Walthamstow. After 20 years in the newspaper industry, I realised my true calling was a life outdoors. I took the plunge and retrained with RHS,and The Welcome Gardener was born.
Seeing an unloved garden transformed into something that brings joy and encourages people to spend more time outside is what drives me. I love working with clients to bring their ideas to fruition and breathe new life into neglected spaces.
I'm inspired by physically feeling the earth beneath me and the awe of being part of nature each day. Each project brings wonderful variety, and knowing my clients are enjoying their revamped spaces brings me great joy.
