What Makes a Garden Design Sustainable?

Garden designers naturally have a real interest in how their actions impact the spaces they work in. But as responsible designers, we also need to understand how these actions impact the wider world.

SETTING OUT PLANTS 🪴 

This is my thought process behind setting out this beautiful bed, but the same can be applied to any planting scheme that you’re setting out! 

People work in different ways, but generally this is how I approach most of mine. 

I forgot to mention the x3 Tree Ferns which will make an amazing feature in the corner of this bed. I can’t wait to see this planting knit together over time. 

Big thanks to @johnstonelandscapes & @johnstone_landscapes_jake who are building the garden and have done an amazing job on everything so far. Not far from completion now 🤞 

If you have any questions about setting out or plant combos, just drop them in the comments below 🪴

Rearranging some potted plants can make BIG changes to your space…

I’d been growing these Colocasia for a while now and I was finally ready for them to go outside. They can take a while to get going, but when they do they grow SO fast! 

I’ve always loved exotic style planting so they fit this section of the deck really well, amongst some of my other favourites. Especially against the water feature. 

Colocasia are not hardy at all, so will need to be brought in after Summer! Well worth it though. My bulbs were from @farmergracy (not an ad.) - and they were great quality. 3 bulbs = 3 happy plants.

Welcome to the family Jude! He’s 3 weeks old tomorrow and is doing great and his mum @zohull_ is an absolute rock star! 

I will get him out gardening in no time, he’s already been out watering the plants with me and designing gardens in the office🪴! 

This is my excuse for a lack of new reels 😂. Looking forward to the rest of Summer!
