Glenn's Story
This isn't a career pivot.
It's a lifelong craft.
Glenn Jaques has been working in gardens since he was six years old — growing up alongside his family's horticulture business and developing a genuine understanding of plants, soil, and how gardens actually work. That's not a marketing line. It's simply how he got here.
"I went and got a formal horticulture qualification because I wanted to understand plants properly — not just learn how to use a mower. That knowledge is what I bring to every job."
— Glenn Jaques, FounderAfter gaining his horticulture qualification, Glenn spent over a decade working specifically in Christchurch gardens — learning the local climate, the soil conditions, and what actually thrives here. In that time he founded Let's Grow Gardening, built a trusted team, and established the kind of reputation that comes from doing the work properly, every time.
Today Let's Grow operates with a trained team, two branded vans, and an established client base across Christchurch and Canterbury. From seasonal maintenance through to full soft landscaping transformations — one team, one point of contact, no subcontracting.

Why Let's Grow
What makes Glenn
different
There are plenty of people operating a trailer and a mower in Christchurch. Here's what separates Let's Grow from the rest.
Horticulture Qualified
Formally trained, not self-taught. Glenn understands plants, soil, and how gardens actually work at an expert level — not just how to operate equipment.
10+ Years in Christchurch
A decade working exclusively in local gardens means Glenn knows the Canterbury climate, soil types, and what actually thrives here. No guesswork.
A Lifelong Craft
Glenn started in the industry at age 6 through his family's horticulture business. This isn't a career pivot — it's what he's always done.
Full Soft Landscaping Scope
From seasonal maintenance through to complete garden transformations — one team, one point of contact. No subcontracting, no handoffs.
Environmental Approach
Good for your garden.
Christchurch-local. Canterbury-specific knowledge. A decade working in local gardens means Glenn knows exactly what grows here, what doesn't, and how to make your property look its best year-round.
