Inspiration

Nature is a constant source of inspiration to me. It informs the way I approach garden design. I combine this with a love of visual arts and bold design. Here I capture things that spark ideas or just catch my eye. I might share work in progress, gardens I have visited or things that inspire me along the way.

Instagram post 2165321488062816072_6898891902 Trees can provide valuable colour and structure to the garden at this time of year. These Birch trees have strong vertical stems that reflect the light. Before they fall entirely, the leaves glisten and shimmer and provide a nice contrast. The bright berries of the Sorbus hang for months as the leaves gradually turn autumnal shades. I had begun to wonder whether the birds would ever be interested in them but now the branches shake from the amount of birds in them having a feast. The fruit is edible for us too and the frost makes the berries sweeter, so ideal to harvest now... I'll try and grab some at the low branches at least, the birds can have the rest! .

Instagram post 2141547205291574317_6898891902 The client is happy with this final garden plan that I presented this week. Lots of mixed textured planting and cosy seating areas. Fingers crossed the build can start before winter sets in. Can't wait to see the finished result next summer. .

Instagram post 2106095342150886637_6898891902 Currently working on a sketch of a new design. The design creates a little walkway with points of interest around an existing cherry tree. Raised planters for edibles sit alongside sun-loving perennials, herbs and fragrant climbing roses. .

Instagram post 2058135151713676441_6898891902 Looking to nature for inspiration. This patch of green space in the city has been left uncut to encourage wild flowers & pollinators. Soft and airy umbellifers and grasses (in this case Phleum pratense) mingle alongside large architectural foliage of Dock leaves. The landscape produces lovely ideas for naturalistic plant design. .

Instagram post 2054499776487049214_6898891902 I wish I could claim I shinned up this Pinus sylvestris to get this view but I was lucky to come across a young specimen whilst out for a walk. What a real treat to see these stunning apricot male pollen cones in bloom amongst the lush green foliage.

Instagram post 2021949059536094674_6898891902 Gagea lutea. These lovely little star-shaped springtime flowers are easy to pass by. They are discrete, not showy, and they're low down.....So it requires a feat of contortion to get this dog's-eye view. Worth it though.
