some white and yellow flowers are in the grass
How can you possibly resist Iris reticulata, particularly for it's lovely silhouette. We've grown 'Frozen Planet', a very pale icy blue to flower, alongside pale lemon yellow Narcissus 'Arctic Bells' in pots on the dining table this year, which sprung out in front of our eyes in the sun over the weekend, during our first lunch of the year in the garden. . . . . . #iristime #irisreticulata #colourcombo #colourinspo #springtime #february #onthetable #tablescaping #plantingdesign#containerplanting
an article about the garden and its surroundings
Is sustainability important? We have always been driven by connecting to a project's wider landscape and enhancing it's biodiversity. Using sustainable materials and practices is not just a necessity; it's something that we enjoy bringing to our projects.

an artist's rendering of a garden in front of a house
We were recently tasked with designing the gardens surrounding a grade 2 listed home steeped in history. We were enchanted by the old walls of the house, bearing witness to numerous modifications and extensions; the passage of time etched upon its facade. The vision for the garden is to honour the home’s transformation, paying homage to its past while reimagining the space with modern sensibilities.

New year, new journey! Farlam & Chandler HQ has made the move to Margate.
