Trimming hedges is an art, and no matter your preference we’ve got it covered.
Today’s hedge is sweet box (Sarcococca confusa)
It prefers partial or full shade, and produces fragrant white flowers and berries. Native to the Himalayas and East Asia it thrives in British gardens.

Herb garden makeover. Everyone’s favourite, as close to the kitchen as we can get I’ve replaced the shrubs the owners didn’t want and put in a variety of useful herbs that will liven up many a family meal to come. What herbs can you not live without? Any recommendations apart from the normal ones? We’ll be adding French tarragon to the bed when I can get my hands on one!

Can we rescue this plant?!
This architectural Phormium tenax started as a tiny 1-foot plant years ago. Now, it’s outgrown its space, but it’s far too good to cut and remove. The challenge? Digging out that stubborn root ball without damaging the crown.
The Plan:
Deep trenching to find the edge of the roots.
Heavy lifting (RIP my back).
Keeping it WHOLE for that instant-impact “wow” factor in its new home.
Tell me in the comments: Would you have put in the sweat to save it, or is it “out with the old” for you?

Hi I’m Greg, founder of Acorn Ecological. We specialise in environmentally sensitive landscaping and gardening maintenance. What this means in practice is the installation of wildlife friendly features such as wildlife ponds and wildflower meadows, as well as bespoke landscaping solutions or just an awareness of ecology when carrying out maintenance. We serve Canterbury, Whitstable, and surrounding areas. Our priority is creating or maintaining gardens that make people want to to spend more time outside, immersed in nature as this has so many mental and physical benefits. Follow to keep up with our most current projects and check out the website for more info.
