Cultivated wilderness. It’s not about letting things go. It’s about designing something that looks like it grew that way.

Repeat key plants throughout so looseness has rhythm. Give softness something to push against. stone, structure, a pot.
Let planting spill over edges, but keep paths clear enough to feel cared for.
Add height with airy flowers that layer the space without blocking it.

Wild-feeling gardens are still designed. That’s the whole point.

Which of these principles feels most counter-intuitive to you? Drop it in the comments. I’d love to know where people get stuck. 👇

Late May field notes from the hedgerows around Oxfordshire.

The season’s shifting now. Cow parsley beginning to fade. Elderflower opening. Swifts back overhead. Meadows slowly changing colour.

What’s appearing near you at the moment?

Could one native tree completely change your garden?

Hawthorn supports more than 300 species of insects, provides shelter for birds and small mammals, and feeds species like fieldfares, redwings and blackbirds through winter.

For centuries it was seen as a symbol of protection.

And maybe that idea feels more important now than ever.

May in the hedgerows

Cow parsley lining the lanes, hawthorn starting to flower and birds nesting deep in the hedges.

I’ve put together some field notes on what to look out for this month, from common wildflowers and pollinators to some of the rarer things you might spot if you slow down and pay attention.

One of the best months of the year to get outside

10 years after my first show garden at .shows I’m back but doing things slightly differently.

Featured in the May edition of Buckinghamshire & Berkshire Living.

This one means a lot. Most of my work is about trying to strike that balance between something that feels beautiful and something that actually functions as part of the wider landscape.

Nice to see that message being shared.

A blackthorn winter?

One moment you are trudging along on your morning dog walk, mud splashing up the sides of your wellies, trying to remember whether it has been precisely 225 days of rain or 226. Then you look up and the whole lane is suddenly white, as if confetti has burst through the hedgerow and settled on the bare black branches.

A month in hedgerow continues and this months is focused on a personal fave, blackthorn.

Most of us carry a place with us.

Not always as memory, but as feeling. Light, space, air, the way a landscape lets you breathe.

It shapes how we move through the world, and often, the gardens we’re drawn to are attempts to rediscover that feeling of belonging.

I’ve written a longer piece about this connection between landscape, memory and the gardens we create, now live on Substack.
