Ginkgo takes the time to get to know each of its clients and their individual needs which allows it to come up with bespoke gardening and landscaping solutions that address the needs of the client. Ginkgo Gardens continues to prosper and develop as a business with a 20% growth last year as it develops its commercial landscape presence. As a privately owned company, the business is not revenue driven and therefore is able to choose the more prestigious developments and projects. The domestic side of the business continues to flourish as the team provides high end quality installation and maintenance to London clients. Ginkgo Gardens is one of the leading Garden Design and Landscape Companies and aims to be the ‘Best Horticultural Practice’ in the UK. The directors have high hopes for the future of the business, having recently won The Ginkgo Gardens is one of the leading Garden Design and Landscape Companies and aims to be the ‘Best Horticultural Practice’ in the UK Origin Housing Award as well as taking on numerous other residential and commercial contracts. With a four million pound turnover per annum, the business is booming. There is a lot of opportunity for dynamic growth, especially on the commercial side of the business. Ginkgo Gardens recently purchased Clews Lane Nursery in Surrey which will allow it to further develop its wholesale plant production with the view to developing a new composting facility to help recycle all the green waste produced. With plans to expand its regional reach, Ginkgo Gardens is set to double its annual turnover in the next five years and be the nation’s ‘go-to’ gardeners for all future projects. Ginkgo Gardens is going from strength to strength with numerous ongoing projects, new business and repeat customers frequently taking it on for new projects. Recently completed projects include the Brompton Hospital patients’ garden for NHS, Harrods Smoking Garden for Harrods and City Road Marketing Suite for Berkeley Homes.
