Transforming a boring back garden into a lush jungle!
My good friend @jacobgibbinsphoto asked me to create a plant filled paradise for his small urban garden in Bristol. What made it so exciting is that he had recently gotten into gardening - specifically Cornish gardens and exotic planting!
I designed the garden and plantings with a winding pathway that leads to the garden office, so he would be immersed in the planting every day. Large structural plants like the tree ferns, Trachycarpus and Olive all help to make you feel immersed in the garden. Even the garden room has a green roof to utilise all available space!
Jacob caught the gardening bug hard and has been experimenting with all sorts of tender and exotic plants, which you wouldn’t necessarily suggest for a new gardener, but he has leapt head first right into it!
That’s what’s gardening is all about, just trying things out, learning from mistakes and experimenting. A garden isn’t done on creation, they develop over years and a gardener will always tell you they’re never finished 😂.
Some of my favourite plants in this garden: Cyathea medullaris Tetrapanax papyrifera Dicksonia antarctica Euphorbia mellifera

It is always great to have meadow grass / wildflower patches throughout your orchard. Cutting them at different times not only benefits wildlife, but makes your maintenance schedule easier too!
These rules apply to any patches of wildflower or long grass throughout your garden to create a more diverse range of habitats in your plot 🪴

Really excited to share this design we’ve recently completed!
This is a design that works around some major existing features, such as the pool, pond and mature trees. Large planting areas surround the curved deck and will be filled with edible perennials.
Patchy lawn under the mature trees will be replaced with woodland understory planting.
Other features include an informal fire pit area nestled amongst coppiced hazels with bespoke curved seating.
The garden will create focal points that are viewed from the house and will use subtle lighting throughout.
Just working on the technical details and planting scheme at the moment. Can’t wait to share more as it develops 🪴
If anyone needs their garden designed, do get in touch! We’re taking bookings for 2025/2026.

Everyone thinks there’s not much gardening to be done now and that gardens can’t look good in January, but no matter what size garden you have, you can make one of these!
Hope you enjoy the video. Comment and let me know what you’d like to see next 🙌
