The cut flower raised beds are still showing off their colours — might not have kept up with cutting them this year, but they’ve rewarded us with the most beautiful display.
Sometimes it’s nice to let the garden do its own thing.

A border revamp that brings structure, colour, and year-round interest — blending much-loved existing plants with a few new structural additions and perennials for bursts of colour to keep the border exciting through every season.
The autumn colour is putting on a show too!
Always a pleasure to revisit a garden we’ve helped shape and see it growing beautifully. 🌼

Apples for the sheep, soil improver and mulch for the borders, and organised chaos for us!! Bribed a few woolly escape artists with Granny Smiths while @field_compost delivered the soil gold! Borders and now fed and ready for tomorrow’s plant delivery.

It’s planting time again! Now is a perfect time of the year to get planting, cooler temperatures yet the soil is still warm and the rain has returned to water them in.

All the pieces are now in place!! With the hard landscaping beautifully completed by @thesecretgardensuffolk and all the planting now finished by us, @ladiesthatmulch, the garden has truly come to life. The back borders and gravel area planted in June are already maturing and bringing so much joy.
A special highlight is the stunning Adezz corten steel water feature, supplied by @riverhillgardensupplies - sitting proud of the patio and raised beds, and floating elegantly above the lower raised beds. Perfectly complemented by fabulous plants from @plants.greatbardfield, it’s all come together fabulously - now we get to enjoy watching it grow and flourish with the seasons.

A special day out with our mums at the beautiful Beth Chatto Gardens. So much inspiration gathered for future designs! Even better, we got to show off our fresh new truck graphics by @amazing.graphics.uk

We are really enjoying seeing these borders fill out and take shape. We planted this last November and despite the hot, dry summer we’ve had this year, the plants are all doing well and settling in nicely. The hard landscaping work by #thesecretgardensuffolk is really looking good as well!

Last year’s planting really coming into its own - the sedums are buzzing with life and the salvias just keep on giving

Bit of plant-spotting while away in Sardinia ☀️ Just noticing how things grow, what works together, and tucking a few ideas into the back pocket for future gardens back home.

Latest photos from our recent design project.
@thesecretgardensuffolk you have done another excellent job at bringing our design to life!
We can’t wait to finish the planting and share the finished results with you soon.

Loving how these gorgeous rusted steel planters from @thefirepitcompany have settled in – the planting’s maturing beautifully and really showing them off.
Paired with timeless pots for an elegant look, and thriving thanks to quality soils from @field_compost .
Plant stars: Heuchera, Hebe, Astrantia, cascading Rosemary, Salvia + Geum

Deadheading in the sunshine
Today we were back in this beautiful, very established cottage-style garden. Vikki was busy with the Shasta daisies — snipping away spent flowers to encourage fresh ones later in the season. It’s hot work, but worth it for those next waves of colour!
This garden is full of character, but we’re also exploring how to add more structure to the space and within the planting, so it works beautifully all year round.

Late summer is still full of colour and structure in this garden we designed. Echinacea, Anthemis and Eupatorium are at their peak, while Sedums are getting ready to be a fabulous source of nectar for bees in the coming months.
We love layering plants for different seasons, creating interest for our clients from the earliest spring bulbs through to winter seedheads.
What plants are looking good in your garden this week?

Taking inspiration from Portugal! The Bougainvillea glabra are particularly amazing.

It’s the Dahlias’ time to shine!
From patio pots to cutting beds and herbaceous borders – these late-summer lovelies are truly earning their keep.
The more you cut, the more they flower!!
These beauties are from @farmergracy and we love them!! 💕
