Brilliant to see the naturalisation project at Kay Park, where we created a wetland, marginal beds and installed a boardwalk is doing so well 😄

This is Blackford pond where we did lots of marginal planting and the flag iris in the foreground of this photo was put in by us - its looking great!

@StuartBudd1 @Peston My Spanish friend and her family in Spain haven't heard anything about this.

@ukhomeoffice It’s beautiful! Shame it’s not as useful as the previous one whose design (a) was entirely the UK’s gift anyway and (b) allowed the bearer the right to work, study and retire across Europe.

But well done on the design. It’s a lovely thing to stare at in the long passport queues.

@bengeam "None claim to be mental health experts but ..." BBC website. Shouldn't this be,"None claims to be a mental health expert but ..." ?

Oh and crucially we should have said that the plants were all supplied by the excellent @Binnyplants !

At @MaggiesCentres Edinburgh the garden is starting to fill out nicely. We planted herbaceous plants, shrubs, trees and pleached beech hedging in the new garden including two trees gifted by @TheBotanics and thanks to Janet Thomas and the Centre’s volunteers it’s looking lovely!

We started a second phase of work at a garden in the South side of Edinburgh today. Last year’s planting by Secret Gardens Design was looking stunning in the sunshine.

A new job we started in Edinburgh last week for Carolyn Grohmann promises to be a rewarding one. Client meeting this morning to go over layout, pathways, soil improvement - all the important basics of any design.

@Strike4Youth We are so inspired by you all. Can adults join you on March 15th. Where, when in Edinburgh?

@FirestonebpUK Well done everyone!

@Edinbirder Phil, this is Nick from Friends of Cammo. We are about to go live with a Friends of Cammo website. Would it be possible to put on some of your wonderful photos of Cammo wildlife?

Apparently these string lines have been set up to establish levels for a pond but it does look like some bizarre puzzle that Heath’s attempting to figure out.

Chilly for outdoor work right now. -5° in Edinburgh first thing this morning but luckily we’ve got lots of work that doesn’t involve cement. Roll on the thaw!

In exciting news, Nick has been invited to speak about our wetland and boardwalk work at the @AECOM UK and Ireland Ecology Conference. The event takes place in Birmingham on Wednesday 5th December. #watergems #ecologyconference #boardwalk #wetlands

Water Gems interrogates two fire extinguishers to learn their secrets as part of our Monday morning meeting yesterday. It turns out that Co2 can be used on all fires and water only on those that don’t involve liquids or electricity. Very illuminating.
