Our Story

Green Thumb Gardens is a family-run gardening and landscaping business based in Poole, Dorset. Founded over 15 years ago by husband-and-wife team James and Sarah Mitchell, we’ve grown from a small local gardening service into one of Dorset’s most trusted landscaping companies.

Our passion for sustainable gardening and creating beautiful outdoor spaces drives everything we do. We believe every garden has the potential to be a sanctuary — a place where nature and design work together to create something truly special.

Sustainable Practices: We’re committed to environmentally responsible gardening. We use peat-free compost, encourage wildlife habitats, and recommend native planting wherever possible.
