  • Lets have some bonding

    I've been noticing a tendency for one part of our industry to knock another recently. For example the Garden Design Journal columnist who talks about 'real gardeners' knocking garden designers but himself knocks garden designers in favour of landscape architects. Then there are garden designers...
  • Medwyn Williams Wins Presidents Award

    I have trawled the internet today to find out all the information I can about Medwyns fantastic win but I can't find much. It has been a fantastic return to Chelsea for Medwyns of Anglsey winning an 11th gold medal and the Presidents award for best pavillion exhibit. The effort that the Williams...

  • Re: RE: Positive buzz at inaugural Hard Landscaping Show

    Dave I too wanted to have a chat over coffee, but found that time ran away again! Your winning project was an absolute stunner and is well deserved of your first place award, many congratulations to your and your team for producing such a crafted well executed project. I will be in attendance at the...
  • What do gnu eat?

    Just got back from visiting a new commission. We accepted straightaway, a 48 ha park is not to be sniffed at but then we started wondering. Its a wildlife park you see and after one or two chats about green roofs and goats we're wondering what do gnu, japanese deer and miniature cows eat? Or rather...
  • How will we remember 2010?

    How much has really changed in the past year? Lots of the reflections on 2009 seem to reiterate what we were all feeling back at the end of 2008 - a lot of uncertainty and a hope that maybe the next 12 months would be better. 2009 was certainly a tough year and reminded us that we shouldn't rest...
  • Blimey, I can't go away for a week

    and now I'm told that I'm exclusively a conceptualist garden designer and given up on the RHS. Sorry to ruin the story but I'm aiming to enter gardens for a number of shows next year including some RHS shows, a couple of overseas events AND Future Gardens. They're all different, from...

  • 5 ghosts and a water feature

    I've just been presented with ten client commissioned documents relating to the position of a water feature in a garden we are designing. The garden has been feng shui'd by three masters all of whom have come up with slightly different ideas and one of whom has re-positioned the gulleys in the...
  • New Zealand Gardening Greats

    I'm down at the Ellerslie Flower Show doing some judging and taking in all that Kiwi designers have to offer. There's an interesting mix of very Chelsea influenced gardens - lots of pods and water - but with a distinct South Pacific twist. You never realise what reach the RHS has with its shows...
  • public vs. private planting

    At last night's Grower of the Year Awards (well done to all the winners BTW), Michael Smith of Essex bedding plant grower W D Smith & Sons told me that the big factor in gardeners' choice of flower colour isn't fashion but location. While in most parts, people are happy to have a slew...
