“What a find! Maria’s depth of knowledge about plants is incredible. She had lots of ideas but also listened to what I like and wanted. She and her team did a fantastic job, were all lovely and the result is wonderful. I’m SO pleased I found Flowers Galore and More!”

“People say “How lovely your garden looks.” I say “That’s entirely due to Flowers Galore who have looked after it for more than 25 years.”

Brian Palmer, Highgate

“Maria and the team at Flowers Galore are wonderful – efficient and reliable and really delivered on transforming our garden. Every area was taken care of, from the initial planning to the patio, lawn and lighting. We can’t wait to enjoy it come spring!”

Moran, NW11

“Maria and her team have been involved for over 25 yrs looking after the communal gardens at South Grove House, which is a block of flats in the heart of Highgate Village. From simple maintenance at the beginning, then the gardens were redesigned and planted to become the glorious oasis that they are today.
Maria’s drive, creative knowledge and professionalism have made the “Flowers Galore team” part of our extended family.”

Rosemary, Highgate

“Maria and her incredible team transformed our garden in a matter of days. Her knowledge of plants and flowers is unparalleled and she managed to capture our vision perfectly. Her team were polite and professional and we can’t wait until spring to see all the colours burst into life.”

Joel, NW11

“My garden has always been a labour of love and a spiritual haven. We love our garden and spend time in it whenever we can and often. We have travelled this journey together with Maria and the team at Flowers Galore for over a quarter of a century. Maria has helped us articulate and create this special place; renewing, refreshing, caring and has added those unique special ingredients without which you cannot make something special and unique – love and passion xx.”

Simon Z., NW11

“Maria did a fabulous job transforming a very dull garden that looked like something you’d find surrounding an office or car park, into one bursting with colour. We now have a wonderful variety of plants, mixing interesting foliage with stunning blooms and scent and every week something new is appearing. We are only a few months in and really looking forward to how our garden will develop over the summer.

Maria truly knows her plants and gently steered us away from some poor choices, introducing us to varieties to create the beautiful, romantic garden we were after. Maria and her team were exceptionally professional and a real pleasure to deal with.”

J.W. London

“Flowers Galore and More is exactly that, flowers galore and more!

Maria and her team transformed our garden and made us a herb garden with a wonderful variety of herbs in planters for our veranda.

Maria is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We felt we could totally trust her with our garden. She manages her team with such efficiency that everyone knows what they are doing and the job gets done well and quickly.

We highly recommend her and were very happy with the whole service and will continue hiring them to maintain our beautiful garden.

Thank you Maria and your team!”

Kira and Guillermo

“Last year I told Maria “I’ve always longed for a proper spring garden” and this year it has come into bloom with the most stunning palette of colours. It is truly magical and breathtaking every morning. Thank you to the creative and professional work of Maria and her excellent horticulturally trained team.”

Kate White

“It was great working with Maria and her team on our garden. We wanted the project to be done quickly and she managed to turn it around within just a few days meeting the brief perfectly and our expectations. We love the final result and can’t wait for summer to spend time in it. I would definitely recommend Maria and her team!”

Daniela from Islington

“Maria has transformed our garden into an exotic and tropical landscape, with surprises around every corner. Thoughtfully and lovingly designed, with plants of high quality and beauty, and with a balance of wild and orderly. The irrigation system is superb, a difficult job well done. We have had many complimentary comments by friends, but as Maria says, the best is still to come!”

“It took me ten years to find a gardener as good as Maria and her team at Flowers Galore – but it’s been worth the wait!

Finding someone with that combination of horticultural knowledge, enthusiasm and reliability wasn’t easy. Particularly because I wanted to have a garden that wasn’t just green blobs and a lawn!

Maria has transformed my garden, creating stunning herbaceous borders and turning a dank corner of patio into beautiful flower beds full of colour.

Plus, she has a delightful support team who are all equally knowledgeable and a joy to have in your home.”

Jayne Irving

“If you want to have the most wonderful and imaginative garden and have it attended by the greatest team then look no further than Maria Dallow at Flowers Galore. She has made my garden a place to treasure and enjoy in all seasons.”

Susan and Morris Bentata

“Maria has transformed my tiny London Fields garden. It’s gone from overgrown ivy-riddled chaos to an outpost of blooms, many hydrangea varieties, NZ natives (I’m a NZ’er), colour, texture and beauty. We’ve also added a hanging living wall – made from many recycled felt ‘envelopes’ attached to my side wall now full of ferns, fuchsias heuchera, and many other delights – which has actually given me a new room in my home.  Maria really understands what a garden is for and how to finely tune it to the owner.”

Peter Gordon

Maria and her Flowers Galore team have looked after my garden for 25 years! From glorious planning and planting to hard working regular maintenance they are inspired professionals.

Julia Paton

“A beautiful garden is the best way of making your home feel bigger. Flowers Galore transformed my small yard into an all year round oasis of colour and perfume. Maintenance was minimal but enjoyment was maximum. She’s good is our Maria!” Xxxxx

Gok Wan

“Reliable, attentive and skilled garden maintenance by some very nice people. My garden is so healthy and beautiful this year and the roses (for the first time ever) are absolutely spectacular. Thank you so much Maria and team.”

Susan Witherow

“We wanted a terraced garden, and it took a lot of thinking, planning and negotiations with the builders. The end result is lush, wild, abundant and absolutely gorgeous! Thanks to Maria and Flowers Galore.”

Noam Bar

“Maria and her team created an ever-changing paradise in our back yard. What a joy!”

Yotam Ottolenghi

“Dear Maria,
My garden is so breathtakingly beautiful. You are so inspired, how can I ever thank you for creating something that gives me so much pleasure – every day – with new surprises non-stop. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is truly beautiful and what I dreamed to have.”

Appreciatively,

Carol Beckwith

“Dear Ruth

I was telling my mother how much I admire your garden. I walk past your house and garden twice every weekday morning on my daily constitutional and it lifts my spirits every time.

I’m sure you cannot wait for your hedge to grow, but I am hoping it will take some time, as the pleasure of my walk will be diminished when I no longer have your garden to look forward to. I just felt I wanted to write to you to let you know what enjoyment it has given me.”

Rifka

“Maria and her team came highly recommended to me and I can see why. They were a pleasure to deal with, turned up bang on time and did a great job transforming  my hugely overgrown mess of a garden into a lovely space. Despite having to carry all of their gear through my house and the masses of rubbish back the same way they left not only the garden but also the route through my  house in immaculate condition when they left”.
Joe

“Flowers Galore did a major job on our garden some years ago. The result was magnificent. Since then, each year we have enjoyed a wonderful changing display throughout the seasons. Our garden has obviously benefitted from their regular maintenance visits and Maria’s expert care of the plants.”
