@suburbiagarden1 Hi - wonder if this is more of a reflection of the spring we had?

[Penelope Walker @llevelogd]

@SophieKBoxall @Ben_Raskin @copseworker @waitrose @DefraGovUK I know a local grower who sells to them. They’re only responding to demand. Vote with your pocket!

Bored of being bored?
Why not add thoughts of summer colour to your mind. Dahlias are a great way to do this and come in all shapes and colours.
Feel free to get in touch if you'd like some advice on what to order.

Do you know what a Garden Designer actually does? Many people think of Landscape Gardeners or they assume we build the garden. But, alas, neither are true.
So what do we do and how do we work?

This beauty is Iris ‘Langport Wren’ - I love how she’s caught the rain drops. The deep colours and dark veining contrast with the lime green Euphorbia in the back ground.

Iris Tip - Make sure the rhizomes are exposed to the sun to ensure flowers the following year.

Did you know that the scent of honeysuckle is strongest in the evening when its primary pollinator, the moth, is active. Natural selection has meant it is perfectly attuned to attracting moths with a heady scent it knows they will love.

@JennyYoung1985 Nope a Mathiasella - specifically 'Green Dream' - half a point though as they look similar

Looking to create a restorative outdoor space then green is the colour for you!

It's the only colour we don't have to adjust our eyes to take in & in evolutionary terms it signified the presence of water hence is associated with harmony & renewal #Peace

In 1665, the University of Cambridge temporarily closed due to the bubonic plague. Isaac Newton had to work from home, and he used this time to develop calculus and the theory of gravity. https://t.co/EA98WDihJA

@GlobalPaving Yes I had my doubts about putting it on a curved wall but the landscaper has done a fantastic job #skills

[Penelope Walker @llevelogd]

BEFORE:Large joints, cracked mortar, slippery decking.

AFTER:SAME SLABS! Now with a uniform cut and a tight joint for a contemporary look & clay pavers laid on edge to replace the decking.

What a transformation thanks to skilled landscaping and a design detailing #gardendesign

[Penelope Walker @llevelogd]

Colour has been proven to lift mood and brighten spirits so we're bringing you a little boost with some plants which are all in flower now! (ok - some are indoors varieties...)

Have a Bright and Happy Tuesday!
