C.A.R. Gardens will always seek to enrich and care for the environments that we are privileged to work in. The Isle of Wight is a wonderful Island and we want to see it stay that way. We aim to achieve this by designing, landscaping and gardening responsibly and with sustainability in mind. We are environmentally aware and this is important to us, but we are not ‘know it alls’, nor ‘holier than thou’; so please do have a chat with us to discuss ideas that maybe right for you.
