The Future of Landscape Design
Our garden design business has a distinctly different model than most others in that a decade ago we decided we wanted to travel a little, see the world and when we got there, design some gardens. A combination of environmental concern about all that travel and our embracement of new technology means that over the past couple of years we’ve cut back on the flights and found partners to work with us across Europe, the...

Autumn colour for the Garden Designer
The early summer's been extraordinarily hot and sunny and I've seen some really spectacular flower displays. The weather has been hot and dry and many flowers flourished and then finished much earlier than normal. But there's no reason for you to lose colour from your garden. As autumn arrives your planting design can have an equally spectacular display of foliage and berries. Autumn flowering bulbs, berries on trees... (posted by Andrew 1 year 265 days ago.)

Now Is the Time To Get Tidying Our Country Gardens Ready For the Winter Ahead.
Before the colder weather starts to set in this is the moment when we all need to be thinking about spending a few days out in our gardens. And if you plan earlier enough you can make the task even easier! If you're looking out on your garden on a sunny September day it's hard to imagine what you should be doing right now to plan for the winter but keep an eye out for the...

A Short History of Roof Gardens
Wherever it might be roof top gardeners are a breed apart. With space at a premium I've seen meadows growing in eaves and roses trailing into the sky. In the most exposed spaces I've seen mature trees thriving and come across orchards and allotments in sheltered city gardens. Its never easy growing up in the sky but you'll be amazed what can be achieved with a little planning and a close understanding of what you have... (posted by Andrew 2 years 9 days ago.)

Are We Being Efficient Enough With the Use of Water In Our Gardens?
Water has always been an essential and defining element of our landscapes and gardens. It's a symbol of wealth and power, personified in the great European houses of le Notre's Versailles and Vaux le Vicomte and the great English parks such as Lord Carlisle's heroic Castle Howard. It's an expression of the art of garden design seen in the 20 th Century modernism of Thomas Church in... (posted by Andrew 2 years 72 days ago.)
