@goringgrocer worry about sales of their organic locally grown strawberries as Rob harvests his first crop (360g👍👌🍓) ...Grown in raised beds the video shows how they tumble down away from the slugs and earwigs, ripening in the sun #growyourownfood #growyourown #growyourfood #growyourownfruit #growyourownstrawberries #strawberry #strawberries #raisedgardenbeds #raisedbeds #raisedbedgarden

Training climbing roses horizontally encourages loads more flower buds, whilst letting ivy hide the hideous fence behind also provides a nesting site for wrens and food for the 🐝🐝🐝 in november👍 Any suggestions for name of the rose🤔 #climbingroses #climbingrose #pinkflowers #pinkflowers🌸 #pinkflowersofinstagram #encouragingflowers
This client found us after reading about a garden that we had created with designer @joaldersondesigns100 in @homesandgardensuk. When looking at the before pics note position of the 3 stunning Ash that we retained using air spades to ‘no dig’ around them and see them again in the afters with yew pyramids from @solitairtreenursery Ilex crenata (x1400) from @northhillnurseries thus avoiding box and oversized obelisks from @woodengardenobelisk whilst the finishing touch was the turf from @inturf85 delayed after five months of constant rain last winter...oh and the client is both delighted and delightful😀👍#homesandgardens #homesandgardensuk #homesandgardensmagazine #solitarnursery #yew #topiary #topiarygarden #ilexcrenata #boxsubstitute #woodenobelisks #obelisk #ashtrees #gardendesign #estategardens #estategarden #gardentransformation

Perfect antidote (other than bleach😮) to Covid 19 lockdown as this client loves for the first time growing her own in this kitchen garden designed by @joaldersondesigns100 enclosed by @quercus_fencing_ pavers from @chelmervalley and of course an @alitex_ greenhouse complete with rain water harvesting... strawberry runners from my garden started the client off and now we swop veg plants😀👍 ps the montage does show the same location 18 months ago😮 #kitchengardener #kitchengarden #kitchengardendesign #raisedgardenbeds #raisedbeds #growyourownfood #growyourown #alitex #greenhouse #greenhouses #wovenfencing #pavers #gardendesign
A white moment; hydrangea petiolaris emerges into flower even on a shady wall whilst Allium Mount Everest deal happily with the competitive Comfrey below a mature London Plane whilst the foxtail lillies relish the sun, acting as bee magnets as frankly do all these flowers😀👍🐝 #white #whiteflower #whiteflowers #whiteflowers🌼 #flowersforbees #climbinghydrangea #hydrangeapetiolaris #alliummounteverest #comfrey #symphytum #symphytumofficinale #eremus #foxtaillillies
Loved designing the planting for this border last year, planting in December with plants from @northhillnurseries and now six months later, the foxtail lillies and Allium Violet beauty scream out at you loaded with bees. Will suggest the nepeta gets cut back now ( the Chelsea chop) to encourage bushier later flowering when the penstemon Blackbirds and Baltic cow parsley will be out with maybe still more flowers from the striking Rose For your eyes only’. Edged in basalt sets from @cedstonegroup these define the border and act as sharp mowing strip in an immaculately maintained garden #rose #foryoureyesonly #allium #alliums #alliumvioletbeauty #nepeta #eremus #foxtail #foxtaillillies
Why bother creating cut flower gardens when self seeded love in the mists self seeds in my asparagus bed so obligingly 🤔😀😘 #nigella #nigelladamascena #nigelladamascenaflower #loveinthemist #cutflowers #cutflowergarden #cutflowersfrommygarden #selfseeded
In 9 days 10 out of 12 baby blue tits have emerged and can’t be long before they will leave the nest box....love thinking of novel presents for my best clients and this CCTV bird box provides hours of fascinating viewing in lockdown😀👍🐣#birdbox #bluetits #bluetitsofinstagram #birdboxcamera #babychicks #nestbox #nestcamera #nestboxcamera #springwatch #bbcspringwatch
We laid this neglected hedge two years ago to open up views of the wild flower paddock we are creating beyond and the resultant light has encouraged foxgloves to appear 😀👍 #hedgelaying #foxgloves #digitalis #wildflowers #wildflower #wildflowermeadow #wildflowermeadows
Denzel lends a paw to help plant up a container full of herbs, perfect whatever size your outdoor room or balcony is. Watch the full story on IGTV tomorrow #herbs #herbgarden #baytree #laurus #laurusnoblis #mint #containergardening #workinglabs #workinglabsofinstagram #blacklabsofinstagram
A rogue Allium Purple sensation always turns up in my asparagus plot, so perfect for cutting whilst Iris JANE Phillips exudes beauty even on the wain whilst Nepeta faassenii from @northhillnurseries has after two years become established in a very dry border under a neighbours holly #purple #purpleflowers #purpleflowers💜 #allium #alliumpurplesensation #nepeta #catmint #iris #irisjanephillips
