TW1 Gardening was founded in 2014 by Jan Choudhury who has lived in London all her life, and in East Twickenham for over 19 years. Prior to setting up the company, Jan worked at The Palm Centre in Ham. Alongside this she was hired by several well-established local garden businesses to help soft-landscape and maintain mid- to large-sized gardens in west and southwest London.
Jan studied horticulture at Capel Manor which has an international reputation for training horticulturalists, arboriculturalists and garden designers. Alumni have gone on to create show gardens at RHS Chelsea Flower Show and to present BBC Gardener's World amongst many other horticultural achievements.
Alison's special areas of interest are perennials and propagation. She holds regular plant sales in West London and fits this around working on her own allotment. Formerly an HR practitioner, Alison has run school gardening clubs and can regularly be found at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, engaging visitors in the seasonal delights of the gardens (when guided walks are permitted again).

Really pleased with the service that I’ve had from TW1 Gardening over the past 12 months. Jan and the team have completely transformed my previously unloved garden during that period. The advice and project management, as well as the work itself, has been great and as a novice gardener that has been hugely appreciated.
Over and above the work the team themselves as individuals have all been a pleasure to deal with. Thoroughly recommended.

After failing over a number of years to control my unruly garden I decided to call in the professionals. TW1 Gardening was recommended to me and Jan came to my rescue.
I can confidently say that she and her team are professional and a pleasure to work with. The garden has been thoroughly rejuvenated using her input and now a year on I am seeing the results of the hard work.
My confidence in her work has led me to expand this project to the entire garden. I can also say that third party contractors to carry out other work such as lighting and decking have also been of a equally high standard.

Jan and her team have helped us with both front and back gardens over the last few years and we have always been very pleased with the service. They are very knowledgeable and are great at planning a planting scheme. They have helped teach us how to look after our garden and we are now more confident gardeners. Thank you Jan!

Jan was so helpful and creative in re-designing our front garden beds. She has rejuvenated the space with beautiful ideas that incorporated some of the existing planting. I particularly appreciated the follow up tips to maintain.
Services: Seeding, Yard cleanup, Weed control, Mulching

I’m very happy with the service I have received from tw1 gardening in the last year. They have a lot of knowledge about plants etc and have really improved my garden. Kate, the gardener I usually have, works very hard and the result is that my garden is now looking really lovely. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I have so enjoyed having the input from TW1 Gardening. They listened carefully and so 'got' my garden totally. This winter instead of feeling guilty every time I went into the garden, I have really enjoyed how it looks. The suggestions they make come from their properly qualified horticultural knowledge. I have been having 4 hours a month. They have worked hard and each visit has been value for money.They have also arranged for long outstanding jobs that I had been meaning to do for ages - like trees cut back, decking problems solved and a water feature put in. I'm looking forward to working with
