Transformation of a tired astroturfed back yard into a beautiful paved space where plants are encouraged to take over, growing in the ground and up the walls 💚

Thanks to this lovely client for introducing me to the brilliant Dutch concept of 'tegelwippen' - look it up!

Ground cover plants introduced: Sedum album, erigeron karvinskianus, thymus coccineus, chamomile and creeping jenny 🌿

A gorgeous selection of pollinator friendly perennials providing a variety of shapes, textures and flowering times to ensure interest across the seasons. Can't wait to see this yard next year 🙌

Thanks again to Colin for bringing the vision to life with his wonderful paving.

How glad am I now that I didn't have time to harvest the artichoke before my holiday? 💚

Look at the colour of those flowers and then I found 4 bees drunk on pollen rolling around in the flowers, brilliant! 👏

Anyone else's roses gone absolutely crazy this year?! 🌹

I planted this Peace rose 12 years ago in the wrong place, shade for most of the day but its done what nature does and persevered to prove all the books wrong and now thriving!

It's never had so many roses as rhis year and I love the different shades they go through 💚

Lovely to work with a collection of well established sun worshippers in this south facing backyard in .

A refresh of all pots with new soil and some colour added into the mix with a range of perennials.

When you're painstakingly digging hundreds of allium seedlings out of the gravel, remember, this is why we leave those gorgeous seedheads 💚

It's all worth it, honest!
