About

Our Journey

HORTUS was founded in 2021 when our two founders discovered a shared passion for landscapes and horticulture at university. Jack and James met at the Royal Agricultural University whilst studying Land Management degrees. Upon graduating they formed HORTUS Group. Utilising their expansive connections within the industry, HORTUS continues to offer a premium service across both the domestic and commercial sectors. With a shared passion for sustainability, we have committed to reducing carbon emission across all elements of the company.

Having started out managing private homes using fully-electric tools, we continue to expand our domestic team whilst providing a high quality service to the commercial sector.

Our Values

Sustainability

At HORTUS Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do. Using eco-friendly practices such as reducing chemical inputs, improving soil health, conserving water, and supporting local biodiversity, a gardening company creates landscapes that are healthier, more resilient, and cheaper to maintain over time. Sustainable methods not only reduce waste and environmental impact, but also demonstrate responsibility and professionalism—qualities that modern customers actively look for. Ultimately, a commitment to sustainability ensures that gardens thrive in a way that benefits both people and the planet.
