Courtyard planters 🪴 This part of a courtyard garden is mainly in shade, and with soggy lifeless soils it never really worked for our customers. With a new plan, plants, bespoke metal containers, drainage, healthy soils, wiring and a revamped irrigation system we've brought this corner to life again

Some more photos from Warren of this gorgeous garden taken on a recent maintenance visit. We started this planting project just last autumn. First Spring in and looking blooming lovely.

How good have the blooms been this spring and early summer?
We had the pleasure of pruning this Wisteria in February, and look at it now.

So wonderful. 💚💜 💙

Star Wars taught me more of a moral code than any Bible verse. The power of Hope, the importance of Friendship and Loyalty, embracing Diversity and Acceptance, the perils of Hubris and Arrogance—and the balance between Light and Dark…

Stay on target, my friends… and May the 4th be with you. Always.

Just showing how we set up an automated irrigation system. It saves water 💦 compared to hand held hose and sprinklers. #irrigation #isleofwight #horticulture #landscape #design
