When pruning trees and woody shrubs, I often like to dump my waste in a local forest in mounds like this, it'll provide a temporary home for local wildlife until it has fully decayed. Once decayed the dead plant matter will provide nutrients to the forest floor, helping all sorts of plant life flourish!

First time edging out a new border for an existing bed since college training! I think I did quite well!

By reusing plastic bottles, you help to protect the environment, any gardener can get behind that! 3 cheers for Corin and Rebecca!

Working for the amazing owners of one of my favorite shops, Bovey Larder

Cleared a raised bed to give their rhubarb crop some much needed space and de brambled and de weeded a treeline located behind.

Cleared a raised bed for a client, now with no more competition for nutrients and plenty of space their rhubarb is developing new shoots!

New client! Here's a toast to the lovely proprietors of Bovey Larder who have generously employed my services as a landscape gardener! You may recall last year I struck a small business proposition with this fine couple in an attempt to sell my potato's to the populace of bovey tracey!

Heres to the Burtons! Who have a garden as equally lovely and mesmerising as their shop!

(Lovely rosemary by the way guys)
