‘The horticultural industry is surprisingly unsustainable at times, and it can be frustrating watching the skips mount up. So, for this garden, I wanted a different strategy.’ Designer @miriaharris made sure everything that was taken away could be reused and she posted a free plant and material giveaway on social media and set a stall in front of the house. ‘Within 48 hours, everything had gone.’ Read more at the link in our bio. 🎥 @raewarne ✏️ Zia Allaway #gardening #gardens #plants #g...

The Exchange garden designed by Sarah Price
It is no surprise to learn that the garden at The Exchange, with its painterly combinations of Elaeagnus ‘Quicksilver’, Rosa x odorata ‘Mutabilis’ and Benton irises, set off by mellow, handmade brick pavers and stylishly rusted corrugated fences, was designed by plant whisperer @sarahpricelandscapes . It’s almost impossible to believe that this exceptional exercise in high horticulture is a freely accessible community garden in the southeast London suburb of Erith. Head to the link in our...

A narrow town garden transforms into an urban oasis
Designer Matt Evans (@marvsw0rld ) transformed his own typically long, narrow town garden into an urban oasis 🏝️ When Matt Evans moved into his terraced house in Bath in 2020, he was confronted with what many of us face in a new garden – a lawn, some tired hard landscaping and a motley selection of structures. Matt is a chartered landscape architect, garden designer and plantsman, but instead of coming up with a completely new design for the long, narrow garden, he decided to make minimal ha...

Why herbs are so important to Nigel Slater's garden
Who else loves having herbs near their kitchen door? 🌿 @nigelslater explains why he uses them for the kitchen, but also has them near so he can touch and smell them.

Lush, jungle-style planting in a garden in London
In this Islington garden, designer @Declan.Buckley1 has used lush, jungle-style planting to remind his clients of their childhoods in Kerala. 🌳 When Declan first saw this garden, it was nothing more than a patch of grass backing on to a line of Cupressocyparis x leylandii in the neighbouring plot – in this case a welcome feature, since the house refurbishment featured a lot of glazing and the trees afforded some privacy. Texture, rather than colour, is the star here, with contrasts of foli...
