About Rhize

Connection Through Nature

My Philosophy

My goal is to reconnect people to plants by empowering them with knowledge and understanding of nature.

I provide truly bespoke services, taking time to understand every one of my clients and their objectives. I work with nature by taking time to understand the biome of your gardens and green spaces, whilst sharing this with you.

My work is exclusively chemical and peat free and I look to reduce waste, recycle and reuse plants and materials where possible. I select my professional partners carefully and look for those with eco certifications and credentials as well as choosing smaller specialists with knowledge and experience.

I aim to inspire, encourage others to get hands on, and take responsibility for their green space in a supported way. This enjoyable evolution allows my clients to receive the many benefits of their own growth, knowing the environment is benefiting too.

My Journey

Rhize was already in the making as I was also discovering who I was and what I was here to contribute to the world. In my early teens I wrote songs with my guitar about stopping the felling of forests and of ending whale hunts; I was so passionate about protecting our home here on Earth.

During university I found out more about what needed changing and spent my time thinking about how we could overcome these challenges. I discovered a personal but impactful mission, one that I could share with everybody.

I feel that we have lost touch with the natural world and believe that reconnecting will not only protect the environment, but ourselves and others too, in that we are healthier and happier.

Over the years I have found that small personal actions multiplied can have a huge impact, and that these small actions are achievable for most of us at some point or throughout our lives.

I created Rhize so that everyone can discover their own natural connection: to show you practical skills, to help you gain knowledge and provide you with inspiration. It is my mission to remind you how you can exist alongside and support the natural world, whatever, wherever and however that may be.

  • “Delenn worked with us on our garden after our previous gardener of 10 years retired. We have a large plot of a third of an acre, with mature trees and shrubs as well as extensive lawns that require careful management. Delenn listened carefully and took time to understand our expectations. She completely understood our desire to maintain control without losing the natural look and feel of the garden and fully respected our preference not to use any chemicals or pesticides. Delenn was also highly creative and brought many excellent ideas of her own. The work was carried out to a very high standard and she utilised cuttings and harvested wood to create natural fencing in several parts of the garden. Throughout her time with us, Delenn was completely reliable and her work was always carried out to a high professional standard.”

  • I have known Delenn for several years. We have worked together on projects where she has demonstrated her existing knowledge and a desire to try new things. She is creative and passionate about bringing an environmental perspective to her love for garden design.
