We are absolutely delighted with this border transformation. Checked in on progress yesterday, so much growth since we planted in March!

So good to be back in this fabulous garden today! Two years later and the combination of Alliums, Geums, Astrantia and grasses is pure magic. 🌿✨ #GardenEvolution #GardenDesign #SummerGarden #PlantPatience #GardenInspiration
🌿 From the Drawing Board to the Dig: Progress on Our Latest Design Project🌿
There’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing a 3D rendered design start to take shape in the real world. We are currently on-site with @thesecretgardensuffolk, who are doing a fabulous job completing the hard landscaping for our latest project.
The “before” shots (swipe to see the progress!) show just how much work goes into the groundwork before we can even think about the plants. We’ve opted for rustic brickwork on the raised beds and that central circular patio to ensure the garden feels like it has always belonged to the house.
• Hard Landscaping: Expertly handled by @thesecretgardensuffolk—the brickwork is looking spot on.
• The Finish: We’ll be heading back in June to get the plants in the ground and bring the soft textures to life.
It’s a privilege to see the vision we created for our clients being built with such care. We can’t wait to share the final results this summer!

It is always a treat to see a project find its feet. We planted these sweeping driveway borders back in March, and they are settling in beautifully. 🌿
The structure of the trees provides the frame, now complemented by the softer textures of Seslaria autumnalis, Arenaria and Salvia. We’ve stuck to a calm palette of greens and whites for now, though the red roses are just about to provide a lovely burst of colour.
Good preparation is everything, so we used a generous amount of soil improver and mulch from @field_compost to give the @plants.greatbardfield plants the best possible start. A very satisfying transformation. 🍃

Hard to believe this was once just grass and overgrown roses….
Two years on and it’s now a rockery bursting with life, colour and texture (as well as the odd gnome!)
Proof that careful planing, planting and a little patience can transform even the most overgrown space into something special!

The best views aren’t just found; they’re designed. 🌿✨
Looking out from the kitchen window, it’s a reminder of why we prioritize structure and year-round interest. While the cherry blossom provides that spring magic, the evergreen Choisya is a star year-round, and the Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ adds that first punch of perennial energy. 🍊
A great garden should be a joy to look at from the inside out!

From overgrown to oasis!
We really enjoyed bringing this garden back to life by clearing and revamping the existing borders and creating a sunny gravel retreat. Three borders with different conditions brought together into a beautifully balanced outdoor space.
Shout out to Alex and his team at #countrygardensandlandscapes who pruned the trees, built the decking and installed the new fence.

Working on a garden today that we planted a few years ago, delighted to see this border bursting with spring colour!

Such an exciting time of year 🌿 everything is just on the edge of bursting into colour…
This garden is a perfect reminder that great planting starts long before the blooms — it’s all in the design and planning. Structure, levels, materials and layout create a space that works all year round, with planting simply bringing it to life season by season.
Happy Easter 🐣🌸

Revisited this garden today and it’s doing exactly what we imagined 🌿
The structure has settled in beautifully, the planting is thriving, and the borders are already bursting with colour so early in the season. It’s always such a joy to see a space mature and really come into its own — healthy, happy plants and a garden that just works.
This is why thoughtful design matters… it only gets better with time 💚
If you’re thinking about transforming your outdoor space, we’d love to help bring it to life ✨

Little pops of colour at different heights to brighten a shady walkway!

Loving the colour in the garden today! A quiet display of luxury. #gardenlife #ladiesthatmulch #springbloom #cottagegarden #springmood

A driveway that welcomes you home 🌿
Mature Hornbeam creating the structure, with flowing underplanting of Sesleria autumnalis, Salvia and Arenaria to soften the edges and bring movement through the border.
Strong trees above, naturalistic planting below. We loved this project!

Do you have a favourite plant in your garden? This Prunus is possibly my favourite. It has amazing blossom in Feb/March followed by dark purple leaves that don’t drop until November. Great structure all year round and the perfect size for a small garden!

A little weekend border redesign… 🌿
Here’s what happens when the husband goes away for the weekend… 👀
A new border appears.
No garden centre run needed — just plants lifted from elsewhere in the garden, a few self-seeded perennials, and some generous grasses from Vikki’s garden. Loved creating this simply by reshuffling what was already here.
Before → during → after.
Now comes the hardest part… waiting for it all to grow. 🌱

So nice to have some sunshine rather than rain! How many bees can you spot?
