I am seeking advise from designers, contractors, landscape architects, garden w**d control companies on your experience on treating horsetail on site. We have a garden project where there is a considerable infestation of horsetail approximately 15mx7m. I would be very grateful for any experience you can give as to how to eradicate horsetail, how long it took to irradiate it and the lessons learnt. Thank you for any advise you can offer 🍃🍃🍃

A tiny gem of a garden, tucked away in a quite corner of busy bustling Brixton, cool yew hedges form a tiny parterre, we had to remove the very leggy lavanders and salvias, time for new plants to go into the yew beds to add colour and scent to this beautiful tranquil spot. Time to rest and breathe! 🍃🍃🍃

A new project this year based not far from Penshurst Place in Kent .

A south facing garden on a beautiful southwest rolling landscape, views from the sitting room are breathtaking. Plants have been chosen to cope with the windy, exposed, hot conditions in spring and summer and to provide seasonal flowers, foliage colour and texture throughout the year.

There are drainage issues due to the fall of the land, soils in these areas are prone to water logging, plants able to cope with hot dry summers and wetter soils in autumn/winter have been chosen. Planting these beds will take place in October.

Phase 1 of the project took place earlier in the year and is now establishing well.
