We all like a bit of praise 😊 and got just that from the two ladies of the house when I returned to plant some thymes among the courtyard grave of this suntrap of a city garden.The planting was already filling out, due to diligent watering. Gold star ⭐ @mrslgunn, It so important to water in new planting in the first year and so far this is proving to be a particularly dry summer. The cornus kousa cappuccino was looking divine. I rather wish it were mine. And the new thymes will make a fragrant addition to the journey to the evening seating terrace. All in all rather chuffed. ☺️

Stunning location for a stunning garden!😂 No pressure.
Dave + Matty (+Seanx2) of @conceptlandscapingltd have made fantastic progress on this sloping garden on the banks of the Tyne I began designing this time last year. So good to see it starting to take shape.

Tropical Essex 🌄 Visited @rhshydehall today with my baby sister. Can't say little sister cause she's way taller. Really enjoyed the dry hilltop garden with its stunning vistas and structural planning. Lots to inspire and take away.

Huge congratulations to @rachel_bailey_garden.desi

Huge congratulations to @rachel_bailey_garden.design for her inspiring and informative talk on designing sustainable gardens to support biodiversity and connectivity. So much food for thought and possitivity to take away from this two day symposium held by @societyofgardendesigners at @rhswisley #sgdsymposium We can all do better and gardens have so much to contribute to supporting the natural world that humans have put at risk. Let's dig deep and make a difference.

On train to London on the first leg of our trip to the @societyofgardendesigners symposium at #rhswisley next week. @bozee_the_prterrior 's first rain journey. She's been very good and will get to stretch her legs in Regents park between trains.

Fantastic to mark the start of summer with more pr

Fantastic to mark the start of summer with more progress in our recent Edinburgh Newtown garden. Nestled in the established clematis perched (securely)on the ledge of the original sandstone wall, 3 arched mirrors really amplify the light and atmosphere of this garden. At the same time mirroring 🤭 (quite literally) the character of this beautifully refurbished Georgian townhouse.
The most important thing I can do as a garden designer is find the design that fits my clients and there home in a way that just feels 'right', like this is how it should always be. So very very satisfying. 😁
