I’ve had this under my hat for a while, but now able to share my news! I have been invited to help install a show garden for the International Garden Festival at Chaumont, in the Loire Valley. The design is the only UK entry, one of 20 show gardens, chosen from over 150 entries! The team are heading for France today to make a start! Updates through the week!

An example of “Rainscaping”! A clever concept to create some beauty from a basic functional necessity.

This must be one of the biggest Bluebell bulbs I’ve ever seen! Found it hiding under a large piece of limestone that I was rearranging! Potting it up till I find somewhere for it!

Lucky to catch the sun on this Hammemelis this morning. Witch Hazel is really stunning this time of year!

Recycling at its best! Amazing what can be done with some old timber, pallet planks and a sawbench! The client is keen on reusing materials where possible, and likes things a bit quirky. Carefully pulled the old climbing roses back while we replaced the structure, next job is to tie the roses back in, pruning and shaping as I go.

Given a new lease of life to this lovely oak table recently. It had lost it’s beauty a little, and had stains and marks on it. A careful sanding down, and a few coats of varnish later, it’s looking good and will be of service for many more years.

During the winter weather, I turn my hand to projects that can be done under cover. Obviously this is for recycling boxes, although I can build log stores or whatever. Can be stained to blend in with the garden.
