Papaver has been a horticultural entity for over 10 years. Previously qualified as a Primary Teacher with Modern Languages, I am now a full time lecturer in Horticulture. I combine my teaching experience and horticultural skills to provide a bespoke Knotweed treatment service. One of the greatest challenges we face in eradicating Japanese Knotweed is educating the general public, ensuring they are aware of best practice in their approach to its treatment.

As for qualifications I hold a Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Horticulture,  professional City and Guild NPTC qualifications (PA1/6/6AW/6INJ)  which allow me to provide the highest standard of weed control in gardens and on agricultural land and waterways, and a City and Guilds Award in the Safe Use of a Chainsaw ; including felling trees up to 380mm in diameter.

Client Testimonials

Jane Lancaster - Grasmere

"Emma is an excellent gardener and full of ideas such that our garden is vastly improved and will require minimal maintenance going forward. I only have good things to say about her".

Nicky Belcher - Coniston

"What a find. My parents loved their garden which they designed from a field to a wonderful garden. As they became older the garden began to suffer. A gardener was recommended to them, Emma Clarke. She came to work there pruning fruit trees, fruit bushes, roses, weeding, thinning out & generally returning it back to its former glory. SHe has a wide knowledge of gardening &I know my parents were very please with her & she was kind to them. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Emma"
