If you want a lawn full of spring flowering bulbs, have a hedge to trim or a wildlife garden project in mind and live on the Fylde Coast or surrounds, reach out to me and I'd be happy to discuss it with you. Autumn is the perfect time of year for many garden projects 🍂

Planting bulbs is one of my favourite gardening activities this time of year. Today I had 175 muscari, 175 tete a tete daffodils, and 100 crocus to plant in this commercial lawn. Now the exciting wait for Spring to see them bloom!

A solitary bee habitat log pile I created last year from site-felled cherry logs.

Holes drilled to house the solitary bees. The log pile itself beneficial to all manner of other creatures.

Lavender in front of the pile for bees and other insects (and us) to enjoy (with allium bulbs also planted amongst the lavender).

Attractive and beneficial! 🐝

The mowing season is coming to an end (although not quite yet) and the hedge cutting season has begun 🌳🌳🌳

I always encourage a mosaic landscape lawn, flowering lawn, or full on meadow. I took this photo half way through mowing this large lawn at a commercial property. But as you can just see, the area on the far right is left longer (and is full of a range of flowering bulbs in Spring - stunning 🌷).

I always find the contrasting line between shorter and longer areas of lawns effective in bringing people right up to the longer area. This allows them to see and appreciate the diversity of plants (as well as the visiting pollinators 🐝 and other creatures 🐸), whilst the short grass benefits our beloved robins and blackbirds, among others 🐦‍⬛

The short, striped grass here is also quite diverse. It receives no fertiliser or chemical sprays, and so has a range of low-growing plants mixed in with the grass 🌼. Especially since the clippings are removed when mown, allowing for lower nutrients to stop the grass overrunning other plants and becoming a monoculture 🌾

What would make this even better in my opinion? A third section of purposefully sown and managed wildflower meadow in an irregular shaped band through the middle. But there are so many creative and beneficial options available with such a green space.

Whether it's to mow, create and care for a mini-meadow, or to plant or trim a hedge (tis the season!), I am currently available. Please feel free to get in touch with me should you wish to discuss any of the above, or any other gardening or wildlife habitat ideas 🦔

Old tree stump. Throw a few logs on. Awesome habitat for many wee garden friends. Super beneficial long-term for the soil, too. WAY better than removing the stump. This particular tree was downed by a storm.

Ordered in some of the good stuff for a near-future job.

Along with the team at the memorial gardens I help care for, we've removed strips of turf by the Chapel to create two new beds. Now prepped, in go 500 primroses. I cannot wait to see the results once in full bloom: winter and spring colour for the visitors and pollinators.

Fantastic day with a fantastic group of workmates, in my memorial groundskeeper role.

Awards won: Gold and Best in Category for work done at Lancaster and Morecambe Crematorium. Absolutely made up!

Myself and the team at the Crem, as well as a friend who has moved onto pastures new, put a lot of emphasis into environmental and biodiversity improvement on the fourteen acre site, and the judges loved it. Here's to more of the same!

On my way to North West In Bloom awards ceremony. Super excited for the day ahead.

Side note: what a wonderful floral space the Friends of Squires Gate Station have created and care for. Blooming planters and nestboxes along the platform and opposite. Great to see.

This year is going so fast, before we know it the daffs will be back with us.
