Prettier in pink! 🌸

Most hawthorns have a beautiful scented white blossom this time of year. Sometimes, though, you get a deep pink specimen! (And the jury’s out as to why…)

Throwback to a greener (and cooler!) summer 2021 at . Though this sea holly is a sun bather…

I often include like planting the Eryngium planum (flat sea holly) in planting schemes for its purple-green contrast, autumn interest and pollinator food (of course!).

It also loves baking in the sun, so is perfect for southern gardens in times of drought.

And a sneak peak of my (garden) companion 👨 🪴

What a time to come out…!

(….as the wildlife gardener, nature lover, and face behind ~most~ the photos here at Henwood)

It’s actually been a couple of years since I started Henwood Garden Design. And things are in full swing, the gardens of our first clients are popping and I wanted to say hello👋 💥

Happy Pride everyone! 🏳️‍⚧️🌈

Vibrant prairie vs English meadow at the Horniman today.

The prairie was planted a few years ago in 15cm of pea shingle, and hasn’t been watered since. It’s a great example of adapting to the London climate in a way that’s easy to the eyes, great for the bees, and sustainable use of water resource.

Alliums at the Piet Oudolf Field . Love how the turning of the allium gives a fluffy dandelion seed head look ❄️

The geums, wallflowers and aquilegia showing off last weekend in one of our gardens in Hackney, London.

(You can also catch me in the background watering in some new gap-filling planting!)

Alliums are opening! ‘Purple sensation’ is a favourite for the border - and gives great structure even after it’s flowered.

A shady courtyard at one of our projects in King’s Cross coming into its own. Love how the pink out of the Geranium makes the Heuchera pop 💥

First visit back to Stave Hill Ecology Park since I finished my training there. I couldn’t resist a photo of the three cornered leek - beautiful and loved by pollinators and human foragers, but is invasive and its cultivation is banned by law! The green alkanet in the next photo is also not much-liked by gardeners, but it too brings pollinator benefits.

Spring yellows from the cowslips, primroses and dandelions in Dollypers Hill this morning.

Do those bee hotels work….? The ‘hotel’ in this garden we designed in Warwickshire has a lot of guests! Most UK bee species are solitary (unlike honey and bumblebees which raise young in colonies). Solitary bees lay their eggs in the natural crevices this bee hotel replicates. The mother collects wildflower pollen and deposits it in the crevice. They then turn around and lay an egg, before collecting more pollen and repeating the process. At the end of the crevice they’ll protect their eggs - in this case with earth, other solitary bees use leaves. These eggs will now develop over the next year and hatch next spring 🥚 🐝 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #solitarybees #warwickshire #bees #beehotel #bughotel #pollinators #wildflowers #nature #ecology #pollen #wildlife #henwoodgardendesign #wildlifegardening #gardeninspiration #gardening #gardendesign #smallgarden #henwood

Exploring the #Superbloom at @thetoweroflondon. It’s only in its first year and the drought hasn’t helped, but the blooms are hugely better than their barren grass predecessor. . . . . . . . . . #toweroflondon #drought #droughttolerant #droughtplanting #bumblebee #wildlifegardening #pollinators #london #wildflower #nature #wildlife #henwoodgardendesign #gardeninspiration #gardening #gardendesign #instagay #gaygardener #smallgarden #henwood
