Launched in 2008 by Michael Collins and Thomas Porter the company aims to create and maintain beautiful gardens to a variety of households and businesses. Offering skilled labour and honest workmanship New Leaf London can cater for all your gardening needs.
Michael Collins (Mike), was born and raised in Hertfordshire. After spending university summer holidays gardening at Harrow School in North London he decided to work in the trade full time. A year working in the gardens of a large villa on the south coast of France and two years studying Horticulture and Garden Design at Capel Manor College has given him much experience. Since graduating with a National Diploma in the subject he has worked in landscape gardening and garden maintenance all over the capital before partnering Tom to form New Leaf London.
Thomas Porter (Tom), was born and raised in Hampshire in the village of Hartley Wintney, he trained as a farm manager at Sparsholt agricultural college and after working on various farms around the world, re-trained as a carpenter at CONEL in London. With a good grounding in these two professions, a sideways step into landscape gardening was a logical and easy transition. Tom has since worked for Scarletts garden services, and then freelance for a short time before collaborating with Mike to form a successful partnership.
