We worked on this great little project last month. The client requested colourful impact with little maintenance for a lovely courtyard garden in Balham. It’s north facing which can be fairly dark, so a palette of yellows, creams and greens added light and interest. The height provided by the standard Eleagnus balances out the lower shrubs and aren’t the gorgeous!

Not the neatest, but all foraged from my garden and clients. And great fun to create.

Love this plant combination in a garden in Stoke D’Abernon we designed. The plants have been in a year now and have filled out nicely and are looking established

Yew is my favourite for clipping as it gets really tight. Who doesn’t love a neatly clipped bush 😂

Really enjoying having my nephew with me on work experience this week. Been teaching him a variety of tasks and hopefully inspiring the next generation of gardeners
