Absolutely over the moon to have been awarded a Silver medal @the_rhs Flower Show Tatton Park! Such a great achievement for my first show garden! Can’t wait for the next one!

[James Smith @gdesignerjames]

@vftpottingbench Yes, 100% but cue the "Greenhousey McGreenhouseface" responses 😂

[James Smith @gdesignerjames]

Been a while since I have shared a post that showcases the whole garden.

In this visual you can see how we have knitted the different spaces together with interlocking shapes. This helps create better links and flow throughout the garden.

As it's #TransferDeadlineDay today, I have been thinking of footballers who's names sound like plants!

For example: Elm Hadji Diouf

Progress is being made on site following the freezing temperatures last week which included some snow!

The Prunus lusitanica hedging, Prunus ludidum pleached trees and Euonymus japonicus clipped hedging will help screen the neighbouring fence lines as well as providing interest.

@vftpottingbench @The_RHS I believe we went over this when I was on your podcast! Horticulture needs to get into the school curriculum, and needs to show that there are so many different careers in this industry! Without this then we are going to keep struggling!

Writers (specifically those who have written books):

Ideas, where did you start? How many ideas did you go through before settling?

I’ve had an idea ruminating for a few years now, fleshed it out only to realise that it isn’t ‘enough’ for a book.

Really pleased with how this designed turned out!

The planting will reflect a rustic feel to soften the hard landscaping and be left to naturally change through the seasons!

A new Nordic styled garden designed by @gdesignerjames

This space uses well-connected geometric shapes, providing a number of entertaining and relaxing spaces. The garden will use a small palette of well constructed natural materials, creating a minimalist Scandinavian effect

It is great to be featured in this months edition of @ProLandscaperUK magazine in the ‘Let’s Hear It From’ section!

We speak about how Luke started the business, the amazing projects that we are so fortunate to be able to work on and what the future holds for us @landscapeserv

[James Smith @gdesignerjames]

This is a progress 3D model of a Scandinavian themed garden in Dorset. We met with our clients before Christmas to talk them through our initial ideas an the direction that the design is going in

I am looking forward to developing this design and visuals further.

Isn’t it amazing to be able to hold an entire tree in your hand when in the future it will be impossible to lift? Bare root trees, no compost, lower carbon foot print.

[James Smith @gdesignerjames]

Was brilliant to talk to @vftpottingbench about the world of design and how to get more young people into all things horticulture!

I am really enjoying developing this design from @landscapeserv this week.

This contemporary new build is part of a major development within Poole. Our design mimics the exterior architecture as well as the interior design to ensure a harmonious flow from inside to out.

@vftpottingbench I have a Ninja 9-in-1 and it is one of the best things I have! Would 100% recommend!

[James Smith @gdesignerjames]

@iplantsman @FutureScapeUK @BJHawtin @PeterMassini Looking forward to hopefully catching up with you Lewis!

At @thelandscapeservice we love creating outdoor spaces where our clients can cook, dine and entertain their friends and family.

Anyone really hate those painted heathers that are everywhere at this time of year!?
