Who are we? | C.A.R. Gardens

C. A. R. Gardens is a landscape gardening company, based on the Isle of Wight,

Craig Ratcliff is the owner, and he employs a small team to assist in designing, constructing and maintaining private, public and commercial outdoor spaces. With our busy environment we endeavor to supply work to local artists, trades and craftspeople. We also offer work experience opportunities to students of the island college.

Craig’s qualifications: His horticultural, design and construction skills have been gained with excellent training at ‘London Gardens’ and ‘Clifton Nurseries’; and of course many years of hard work! Craig’s academic years rewarded him with a BA Honours in 3D design.

A little bit of history: After gaining 8 years experience with gardens and customers across London, Jemma and Craig relocated their family and business to Ryde in 2006. They wanted to live near to the coast and enjoy a more rural environment. The move to the ‘gardening Isle’ has been great for the family and the business.

Craig’s business aim: to be outstanding in the design, construction and development of the Island’s private gardens, public and commercial spaces, and to enrich the ecology of the Island.

We are proud to offer a personal and tailored service island wide, that will suit both you and your space.
