Beyond delighted to see our studio garden in this month's issue of Gardens Illustrated. Previously this area was nothing but lawn, but we transformed it into something really rather special. You can find out all about it, including plants and materials used, in the July issue which is out now! With huge thanks to and for the feature.

I adore this tree. It's perfect for gardens of all sizes - growing somewhere between 4-8m, and flowering its socks off right about now. It's best in part or dappled shade but can handle more sun IF really well irrigated.

What do you think? One to add to the list? Save this for tree planting season in November!

If you've got repeat flowering roses in your garden, you need to deadhead them to get more blooms! But it's not just a case of snipping off the spent flower heads - eventually you'll be left with a cluster of bare stems and it's then that you snip down the whole stem to the highest set of 5 leaves. (Yes 5) Soon after you'll see a new stem emerge and more roses too!

Your salvias might well be approaching the end of their first flush soon. This goes for all your herbaceous border salvias really, nemorosa, Salvia x sylvestris and Salvia x superba (not the likes of Amistad).

You’ll know they’re finished when all the tiny flowers have dropped off, all the way up the stem. When they’re done, you need to cut them back to get more blooms. Start by deadheading spent stems to make space for emerging buds. Once those are done too, cut the whole plant down by 30-50% to a neat mound of foliage, and more foliage (and hopefully flowers) will come up at the base some weeks later.

With thanks to Laryngitis for bringing the Phoebe buffet husk.

For our Surrey project, it's all in the details! Drawing from the arts and crafts spirit of the house, old creasing tiles were reused to create beautiful textural steps, both in their entirety as tread and riser and elsewhere as risers topped with limestone. Locally quarried Bargate stone was used to create curved and characterful walls, echoing those that have been there for years, blending the old with the new.

The borders are plentiful and the football goals (and ping pong table) are black 🌱🖤

Yeah Annabelle is great, but there are SO many other great hydrangeas to choose from, so let me tempt you with some other beautiful options, from lace caps to mopheads to climbers. And did you know most hydrangea aren't pollinator friendly? So if you want to plant them in abundance and still look after our pollinating friends, be sure and supplement with oodles of nectar rich planting.

Got questions about hydrangea? Pop them in the comments and tell me your fave! 🌱🌱

Dining terrace designed in 2024, built in 2025 and looking rather sensational in 2026. Patiently waiting for the climbing roses to put on some height and the Jasmine to fill out and cover the walls, but it's getting there!
The brief: a relaxed dining and chillout space for day to day use for a family of 5, with an absolute abundance of soft, modern cottage garden style planting to balance out the hardscape. (And we all love a before shot)

If you love gardening it can feel like there's an endless to do list at this time of year, but don't forget to actually enjoy the space you've worked so hard on too! It's the best time of year in the garden, so ignore the 'to do' list for a moment, sit down in your favourite spot and take it all in 🌱

Deadheading, topiary pruning and staking are the three most important tasks for June to ensure your garden stays at its best, but there are LOADS more jobs you can tuck into if you have the time and inclination!
Other tasks you can do include:
* Sowing biennials such as wallflowers, foxgloves and honesty for next year
* Reduce apples down to two or three per cluster for larger fruit
* Remove spring bulbs from pots
* Prune spring-flowering shrubs
* Keep tying in climbers
* Feed roses
* Water pots and anything newly planted
