The garden may be yawning into life with its first fragile sounds and scents - but the soil is still too cold to sow. Instead, spend time planning for your gardening year ahead.

Chit early potatoes, winter prune fruit trees and prepare veg beds. Bare roots fruits can still be planted, and sweet peas and tender annuals and vegetables can be sown on a warm windowsill in preparation for summer.

Plus, look out for:
🐸Frogs, toads and newts emerging from hibernation to spawn in garden ponds.
🐝Queen bumblebees foraging for early nectar from crocuses, lungwort and snowdrops.
💛Brimstone butterflies venturing out to feed on primroses.

Happy beltane folks 🌿

Here's a little feature to celebrate the blossom of our beloved Hawthorn trees in full bloom throughout Sussex right now

These beautiful flowers are significant in ancient folklore as we celebrate May Day and the transition from Spring to Summer

They support hundreds of wildlife species throughout the year, from pollinators to small mamals and a wide variety birds

We're delighted to have included Hawthorn in the woodland zone of the Angela Fox Nature Gardens in Cuckfield which will soon be open to the public

Today we are planting another zone in the gardens which is a large herbaceous meadow consisting of 26 different plant species

Can't wait to share the results. Happy May Day everyone 💫

We recently made and installed these bespoke gate and panels, constructed from sustainably sourced local Oak.

The style is true to the original design and joinery methods, with cast iron hardware also restored. Finished with natural oils that will soon settle in tone, with regular care these timbers will last many years.

Scroll through to see before images (5-7) 👀

As an additional note, the vibrant plant that stands out in image 5 is a Ceonothus Puget Blue. The flowers of these evergreens are wonderful for various species of bee, butterfly and other pollinating insects.

A healthy winter and a happy new year to everyone 💫

We'll soon be sharing some recent project highlights and looking forward to posting more this year.

Feeling incredibly grateful for our team, partners, clients, growing friendships and especially the natural world to which we all belong.

Excited for the year ahead and to be working on inspiring designs with inspiring people. Watch this space for our first natural swimming pool with a complimentary sauna cabin.

If you're considering a garden project in 2025 we'd love to hear from you.

It's been a while since sharing here and we're getting things going by featuring one of our favourite plants currently coming into bloom

Also to highlight the importance of ground cover layers within a garden ecosystem. Benefits include:

🍀 Conserving moisture (an increasingly important consideration for our time)
🍀 Improving soil health
🍀 Promoting biodiversity
