Butler-Moore Gardens

Gardening Services; including design, landscaping, maintenance, clearance, restoration, fencing, gates, decking and more by Jim Butler-Moore.

My philosophy is a simple one. Its about lifestyle. In January 2013, I suffered a stroke, which fortunately left me with no long lasting side effects. Upon investigation it was revealed that I had been born with a genetic heart condition called an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD). Basically, I had a hole in my heart and never knew about it. It all meant I had to have open heart surgery in May of 2013 to “fix” the hole. It was a complete success. After recovering from the physical side of the surgery, the benefits of my operation became apparent: I can now run 5K, I can swim more than 2 lengths of the swimming pool without being out of breath, my wife especially likes my new found stamina! ! Joking aside, the experience made me realise what was important to me and my family and to re-evaluate things. I was a leading successful sales manager for a recognised global brand, in the world of I. T. My days were spent commuting to the London office on the train or getting up at 05: 30am to drive across the country to accompany one of my sales team on an appointment. I would get home late, not seeing my kids that day more often than I care to remember. Butler Moore Gardens was a concept that came very naturally. Both my dad and my granddad had their own fencing business’. For 5 years, after I left education and before my IT career I worked for my dad, putting up fences, laying decking and patios etc. My passion for gardening started when I was a young boy. My granddad and I used to spend hours in his garden and at his 2 allotments. Upon reflection, it almost feels like the whole “health experience” was a wake up call. To get back to the family business and tradition of an outdoor lifestyle.
