Dahlias are really loving this sunny weather and are brightening up the garden. As we are creating a cutting garden I’ve started growing them and it’s been a steep learning curve. There are so many varieties to choose from it can be a bit hit and miss!

Last year I was asked by to design and create a new garden planting scheme for his Georgian Restoration House.
“I would like a garden full of colour, insects, and birds and one that in a few years will look as though it’s only just under control”

Tulips are loving this warmer weather, giving a vivid splash of colour. Exciting as they are, I was always disappointed that they didn’t flower the following year.
So I looked for tulips varieties that should flower for many years. The viridiflora group like Spring Green and Greenland have flowered week every year. I planted Tulip Purissima for a client six years ago and they are still going well.

Once again Marrakech raises my spirits. I love wandering around The Old Medena part of the city, soaking up the colours and atmosphere.

I was last here six months before the September 8th 2023 earthquake that damaged so much of the city, but on this visit I wanted to explore the gardens of Marrakech. The light, colours, plants and textures are so different to those I use in the UK, but it still gave me inspiration.
