It’s such a treat to be asked to draw on one of my favourite landscapes as inspiration for a current #gardendesign project. This is making me dream of summer and slow days exploring in our camper!

Don’t throw away your old Anemone stems! Harvest the sturdiest ones now for plant supports. Last year I used mine to build a rustic frame for peas in the veg garden and most are still strong enough to reuse this year alongside today’s gatherings. #gardentips

Update photos received this week from some of my previous clients, showing how their garden has been establishing over the last couple of years. “We remain hugely grateful to you for creating such a beautiful, liveable space that’s really transformed our experience of the house.” Job done!

Spring is really doing its best to convince us it’s on its way. Blue skies, Crocus, and Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ teasing its first flower of the year in my garden this afternoon.

Freshly picked Brussels sprouts for tea. Last year’s crop is still going strong on the veg plot in February. #inmygarden #mygardennow
