I featured James  Doran-Webb’s work following last year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show and it was great to chat to him again this year.

I love his sculptures, they’re beautiful and dramatic and this year’s main exhibit was a family of lions in a tree.

Today I just wanted to share the pictures I took at the show but if you want to learn a bit more about James and his work you might want to read my previous blog post about his work or pop over to the James Doran-Webb website.  Enjoy…

I met up with Andrew Wilson a few weeks ago at Savill Garden – he redesigned the Rose Garden there so it seemed the most appropriate place to meet….and the coffee and cake’s good too! Read more

March has been a very full month – the amazing warm and sunny weather seems to have ignited the garden world earlier than usual so I have been working hard to keep up with everything.  I love writing this monthly post because it makes me take stock and realise what I’ve achieved in the month – when you’re busy it’s often difficult to see what you’ve actually achieved!

I was reading a very old copy of The Times newspaper earlier this week which we brought my partner’s parents on their Golden Wedding Anniversary as a momento of their wedding day. Read more
