I spent yesterday planting up my project in Reigate so apologies for the lack of blog posts yesterday!

I thought I’d start bright and early today and share the images I took of Dan Pearson’s Chatsworth Garden for Laurent Perrier which won Gold and Best In Show

It was a difficult garden to photograph even if the weather had a been a bit more on my side, but I hope you get the sense of how natural it looked, almost as if it had been picked up from somewhere else and dropped into place.

The garden represents a small, less trodden part of the 105-acre Chatsworth Garden in keeping with Dan Pearson’s passion for the wilder side of gardening.

I’ll be back later with some more Show garden pictures.

On Friday we visited the RHS Malvern Spring Festival – it’s one of my more local shows so I was curious to pay a visit.  It has a county show feel about it with lots of local crafts and exhibitors as well as the usual amazing floral and horticultural displays and the show gardens of course.

As I write this email, the wind is howling outside and the thought of sitting in the garden isn’t very appealing.  But there have been some glimmers of summer over the last few weeks and it’s always the time we start to think about the garden again. Read more

Last weekend I presented the final designs to a client in South Nutfield, near Redhill.  It’s a complicated site with steep levels which always makes for some head scratching but at the same time, gives such scope for a more interesting garden. Read more

Everyone needs a bit of inspiration now and again and for me it’s not only integral for keeping my design work interesting, but it’s also part of keeping myself energised, positive and happy. Read more

I was feeling in need of a bit of inspiration yesterday so I took my camera with me for a blast of fresh air.  Leatherhead has some lovely and interesting architecture and St Mary’s Church is really interesting with its flint walls and public garden which always looks great in late summer and early autumn.

I have recently been working with a client in Weybridge who is now in throws of having a new glass box style garden room built at the back of the house. Read more
