As the nights draw in, the benefits of having well designed garden lighting are clear to see; here up lighting some stunning bamboo from @northhillnurseries planted in Corten planters with bricks from @peppardbuildingsupplies and porcelain from @_londonstone the design having been created by @jesssarsongardendesign with the client patiently waiting a very long five months for all the project to be completed following usual supply chain problems… #gardendesign #gardenlighting #lightingforgardens #bamboo #cortenplanters #courtyardgarden
Most newly planted trees die in gardens due to overwatering with clients often drowning them with kindness so this is a fabulously simple guide from Kingsdown Nurseries👌🙏👏🌳 #trees #treesofinstagram #watering #wateringtrees #kingsdownnursery #kingsdownnurseries
Dog walk👌😍#dogwalk
Stunning example of hedge laying at Wallingford Water meadows; layering helps regenerate natural mixed native hedging, creating a stock proof barrier and fabulous habitat whilst individual specimens are allowed to remain untouched to grow into species trees. Meanwhile coppice hazel creates the supports for the hedge, regenerating woodlands elsewhere👌👏 #hedgelaying #nativehedge #nativehedgerow #layeringhedges #hedges #layhedge
An afternoon in the greenhouse beckons as my ranunculus claws from @farmergracy soak; they arrive all dried and shrivelled but will get a head start by having a drink for few hours to swell up. Grown in seed trays, they are grown on in pots from February before being planted in greenhouse to give six weeks of stunning cut flowers for Easter👌 #cutflowergarden #ranunculus #ranunculuslove #cutflowers #grownnotflown
An uplifting gardening story for the weekend; so legendary plant breeder, Peter Catt who bred Choisya Sundance, seen here with this new Choisya Greenfingers, a stunning fragrant evergreen that flowers so promiscuously.
With royalties from the sale of the plant being donated to @greenfingerscharity that raises funds to design and create gardens in children’s hospices, @kategouldgardens features this stunning new plant in her design at RHS Chelsea in 2019
And despite me helping nurture the garden, the Choisya really thrives in this stunning show garden to celebrate the charity’s 20th anniversary
8 months later and I meet Peter for the first time collecting four of his newly created Choisya Greenfingers to be featured in house designer @sophie_greenphotography fabulous riverside schemes that all started with a free garden design consult on Garden Re leaf Day when we raised £5k in donations for @greenfingerscharity in return for free garden design consults
Clients thrilled to support the Charity so everyone wins👌👏

Fabulous day out @thenewtinsomerset with clients and in house designer @sophie_greenphotography celebrating her first year with us, albeit seems like she has been with us for 10 years😮 😂
The Newt certainly lived up to expectations with fabulous plantings and exquisite detailing both outside and in the restaurant for a gorgeous lunch. A brilliant modern take on a classic estate with none of the cobwebs associated with other institutions 🤔👌😀 #thenewt #thenewtinsomerset #estategardens #somerset #opengardens #gardensinsomerset #gardendesign
So easy to grow,so easy to pick once you found them hiding under a leaf👌😂 AutumnBliss raspberries keep on giving 11th November 👌🙏 #raspberries #softfruit #growyourownfood #grownnotflown #autumnbliss

This fabulous conversion of a former Plymouth Brethren Chapel with a stunning courtyard design by @joaldersondesigns100
Sweeping across are clay pavers by @brickworksvandemoortel from @countrysuppliesuk so now off to enter for #claypaverawards 🤞🤞
350kg Corten gate opens effortlessly created by @the_gentleman_blacksmith_ltd to hide a secret courtyard with parasol cherries from @deepdaletrees providing shade and nesting sites already for a pigeon and a dove👌
SUDS compliment resin bound gravel from @addagrip contrasts against the pavers whilst bespoke polished paving from @onerumley leads to the front door.
Pleached Pyrus chanticleer from @readyhedge already are knitting together to form a stunning screen on two sides with shade tolerant ferns, Brunneras and hydrangeas from @northhillnurseries form a lush underplanting
Finally must not forget @grocottandmurfit who created those stunning walls and who were sooo amazing as they juggled with us during this lockdown build🙏😮👏#claypavers #courtyard #courtyarddesign #gardendesign #burnhammarket
Trees have always been a crucial aspect of our creations so hence the importance of personally selecting the very best with a tagging trip to @deepdaletrees for designs by @wakefieldnics who I have worked with on several projects and fabulous in house designer @sophie_greenphotography
The trees will fall into a deep sleep this month and so the next four months are a perfect time to plant such that they wake up happy and loved in a new home 👌🤞🌳#trees #treesofinstagram #treetagging #treechoosing #pinus #pinussylvestris #acer #acers #acerbloodgood #acergriseum #paperbarkmaple #birch #betula #betuladoorenbos #pittosporumtobira #pittosporum #quercus #quercusilex #evergreenoak
Glorious Peak District @teggsnose …. So much space👌😀😍#peakdistrict
3 pics that capture a lovely transformation for @carlymichelle0988 and @thepaulwatson …. Upcycling some paving from another project, repurposing a lovely settle from @gardentrellisco with scaffold planks being used to create raised beds and a string of lights enabling the outdoor room to be enjoyed during winter evenings #gardendesign #courtyardgarden
Thrilled to meet designer @victoria__wade and present @joe__wade with boxes of bulbs donated by @jub_holland and @taylorsbulbs1919 as the new woodland garden takes shape @ty_hafan children’s hospice
Funded by @greenfingerscharity as Trustee its so uplifting to see a design that’s been talked about for 2 years emerge despite the challenges of lockdown. The pandemic has made us appreciate the outdoors more than ever but imagine how much pleasure a garden can give for children with life limiting illnesses, their families and friends as they listen to the bird song, feel the sunshine and take in the flowers 🤔👌🙏 #tyhafan #tyhafanchildrenshospice #greenfingerscharity #childrenshospice #woodlandgarden #jubbulbs #bulbs
GREEN WASH by @coopuk as they adorn their stores with messages about @cop26uk yet where they fail to keep newly planted trees even staked let alone alive outside their new store in #hermitage
And yes I first posted pics of their dead and failing trees 6 weeks ago and have heard NoTHING back from them
Afraid climate change not going to be dealt with by a few meaningless banners #climatechange #greenwash #coop #coopshopping #deadtrees #hermitage #cop26
