Poplar tower block gardens can be brilliant little pockets of calm. But let's be honest, getting a gardener in and out of them is not always straightforward.

If you have ever asked for a garden tidy-up and then stared at the final bill thinking, hang on a minute, where did that come from?, you are not alone.

If you live on or near East India Dock Road, you already know the pattern: compact plots, exposed corners, a bit of road dust, and not always enough time to keep the garden looking how you want it to look.

If you are trying to make a front garden near Chrisp Street Market look tidy, welcoming, and genuinely easy to live with, you are in the right place.
