We looked at traditional topiary from @formplants and how to make your own on a budget and then some more extravagant beasts, kindly supplied by @agrumitopiary 🦌!
Great segment! How many times can you say topiarising @melissa_louise95 ?

The structure from the Yew topiary and evergreen shrubs means it will look good all year round, but the real magic will come when all the perennials grow out. It is absolutely filled with colour and texture!
I was lucky to be designing this scheme into an already terraced garden with beautiful stonework. Good hard landscaping definitely makes the planting sing, and vice versa!

- it shows off the form of the tree
- it creates opportunities for underplanting
- it looks beautiful with up lighting on the stems
- allows more light into the planting below and views through your beds
This is one of those instant gratification jobs! Very quick and easy to do and the results are beautiful 🤩

This is a traditional management technique called Pollarding. This practice has been used for THOUSANDS of years across Europe.
It is a similar premise to how we often coppice Hazel trees for example.
It was often used as a way to repeatedly harvest timber without felling the tree, produce fodder for livestock or for weaving materials from Willow in particular.
Here it is being used to promote healthy new growth on a tree that was looking quite sorry for itself.
Now you know!
Thanks to @burdfieldlandscaping for getting the job done!

I’ve been using the @stihlgb ASA20 Secateurs for a while now and they are so impressive. When you’re doing a lot of pruning in the garden, these are definitely the way to go.
What’s great about them is that they reduce any repetitive strain and can be used for anything from bigger shrubs to delicate roses. They would be particularly useful for anyone who suffers with arthritis or poor grip strength.
Work smarter not harder!

Lawns will always have their place in gardens and there are some simple steps you can take to keep them looking tidy. Neither Alan or I use chemical feed / weed etc so the approach here is scarifying, aerating, overseeding where required, and of course your regular mowing schedule!
P.s. if you want to see me doing a cat walk in some spiked lawn aerator shoes - then DEFINITELY tune in 😂.

The history of plants always amazes me and Hellebores are no exception! They’re all looking amazing in the garden at the moment. I can’t get enough of them. 🪴
Little tip: it is always worth pruning off the old leaves to show off the flowers in Spring and to prevent diseases.

Spending just 5 minutes a day in the garden will give you so much hope and boost your mental health.
It gives you something to look forward to as each day passes and something to nurture. You’ll ALWAYS feel better for it. 5 minutes usually turns into 30 quite easily 😂.
Seeing everything growing and bursting into life makes me so excited about what’s to come, so go outside and cherish it in the moment!

I made this for @itvloveyourweekend using reclaimed scaffold boards and an old sash window. All you need on top of this is some supports for the corners and some strong hinges.
You could do this with a hand saw too so anyone can give it a go and you can make it bigger or smaller depending on the size of your window.
I love making things using reclaimed materials! What should I do next 👀?
