It is the plants in your garden design which create the ‘wow’ factor. The right planting finishes off your garden and enhances the other landscape gardening features in it.

A new way of buying plants

The Personal Plant Shopper offers a completely new way of buying plants, which will dramatically change your garden with beauty, style, scent, impact, form, texture, movement and all-year-round colour.

The Personal Plant Shopper, Bob Mattei can transform your garden into a stylish and exciting outdoor space, using artistic flair and horticultural knowledge.

You make sure that you only have the plants in your garden which suit all its conditions and look beautiful together now and, importantly, in the future as they grow. You avoid expensive impulse-buys and know that every plant has been hand picked especially for your garden. You can choose a planting theme which suits your home and your style.

Largest choice of plants

We don't have a garden centre because we source plants specifically for each individual client's garden. This also ensures that we can supply you with the freshest, best quality plants.

Through our network of top quality nurseries, we can supply an extensive range of plants: Bulbs, Alpines, Herbs, Ferns, Grasses, Herbaceous, Perennials, Bog Plants, Marginal Aquatics, Lilies, Wild Flowers, Citrus, Ornamental Bay, Olive Trees, Topiary, Roses, Ground Cover, Shrubs, Conifers, Hedging and Trees, Tree Ferns, Bamboo, Palm, Fruit Trees and Soft Fruit, Specimen Shrubs and Trees.

Select your plants

The Personal Plant Shopper will ensure that only those plants which are likely to suit your garden are chosen. No more costly visits to the garden centre where you are tempted to buy those eye-catching varieties which may not be right for your garden.

With Bob Mattei's eye for detail the plants will be perfectly combined to create a dramatic statement, either in the whole garden or just in one themed border.

Qualified for the job

Bob trained and qualified in Amenity Horticulture at Dublin's National Botanic Gardens (Ireland's equivalent of Kew Gardens), and over the past twenty years has gained a wealth of ideas and experience in planting gardens in all styles and sizes from town courtyards to large country gardens and estates in Ireland, New England USA and the UK. He started Greenstone Landscapes in the UK in 1989, which he ran as a successful business, designing, constructing and planting innovative gardens until 2005.

During this time he has built up a network of top quality plant nurseries and now, with the lack of horticultural expertise in the area, has decided to focus on the horticultural side of the business.
