The most beautiful garage you ever saw??! 😊 🏠
I've been gradually adding borders to this garden, and it's really coming into it's own now. Look at those tulips! 😊

We've decided to let this lawn grow and flower. Longer grass is really useful habitat for all sorts of creatures 🦋 🐝 🐛 🦗 🐦🐞🦔

An artfully mown path helps it look deliberate! 😊

Planting day complete! 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 😴

The lovely brief for this design was to make this garden more bird-friendly. It's so nice to see the birds using the new rowan tree already! There's lots more shelter, flowers for pollinators, seedheads and berries. And it looks pretty nice too, if I do say so myself! 😊

Next step will be a pond 🐸 🐸 🐸

Feeling proud today 😊🌿

Some of you will know that alongside work, I've been studying for my RHS Level 3 qualification.

RHS Level 3 is an advanced horticultural qualification, equivalent to head gardener level. (Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere - I just love learning about plants! 😊)

Anyway, I got my first exam result back… I got a distinction! 🙌 🎉

Nesting season is approaching 🐣
So if you have any hedges or bushes that the birds love, now is the time to cut them safely.

These are two beautiful old nests that I came across in gardens last week, in a pyracantha and a climbing rose. Songbirds don't usually use the same nest twice, but I've left them in place just in case.

This particular garden has 2 ponds, a ferny stumpery and so much insect life. Lucky toad 😊

Planting time! 🌱
It's the perfect time of year to fill any gaps in the garden. The soil is still nice and warm but there's plenty of rain finally, and perennials planted now will have time to put down good roots before summer.

(Here's Ruby suspiciously eyeing up my new Cyclamen hederifolium 😅)
