Details!
The @wateraid garden is a such lovely combo of design and detail. The closer you get the better it looks!
As @rhschelsea ‘24 closes, just wanted to say hats off to the trades and skilled landscapers that made @tommasseyuk and Je Ahn’s beautiful garden happen. Super effort and fun to be involved, enjoy the well earned gold medal!

Up in Manchester for a few days gearing up for the RHS Urban Show @depotmayfield with @tommasseyuk and @surreyironcraft. If you can make it, look out for a very cool bar with botanical inspired planting in partnership with @chase_distillery and the @madaboutland installation. Can also recommend an outing to the Castlefield Viaduct ‘sky garden’!

A real pleasure to be setting out this special garden on the jurassic coast in Dorset yesterday with @tommasseyuk. A first site visit in May 2021, on the studio drawing board for over a year, under construction for six months and now coming together beautifully with a largely Mediterranean palette of plants aimed at resiliency, blending into meadows of perennials and wildflowers.
All the stone in the garden has been hand selected from Purbeck quarries within a few miles. Superb landscaping, natural pool and attention to detail by @waterartisans.
More to do! Look forward to reporting back in the months and seasons to come. π¦

An inspiring visit to the International Garden Festival at Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire earlier this month.
The 2023 season tells stories about our landscape’s resilience and response to the climate emergency, in a truly magical picture postcard French castle setting.
A feast for the soul with 20+ season-long show gardens and a totally non-commercial vibe.
Check it out sometime!

Such a fun few weeks with the Tom Massey Studio team and others at #rhschelsea helping to the plant this beautiful garden by @tommasseyuk to promote the understanding and awareness of insects and their habitats for @royentsoc and @project.giving.back. A special mention to @lalandscapes, who are legendary landscapers, one and all. Good times!
Very enjoyable site visit this week with @tommasseyuk to the heartland of #purbeckstone to look at an exciting project starting soon. An exposed coastal site with great possibilities for a resilient planting scheme. And of course, this view certainly helps....
Lovely to pop in on an old project and see the planting looking so perky and vibrant against the corten. Creating interest with leaf form and colour contrast was the original plan here and I think it’s delivering!

Simple and effective planting at a good scale is really working in this school courtyard in SW london. The addition of the cheery @fermob furniture is definitely brightening up this little corner of Kingston.

Think Her Maj would approve of this little beauty making a contribution to our jubilee street party. Hope you are enjoying the long weekend wherever you are. πβοΈ

Spotted this South African beauty, not as a cut flower, but on the Cornish coast near @minacktheatre. Protea cynaroides is actually an evergreen shrub. The perfect spot to channel my inner Poldark on this rugged coastline. Other pics taken around Pendeen…
