Teamwork makes dream work is such a cliche but som Teamwork makes dream work is such a cliche but sometimes it’s true.

If you look closely, you’ll see rather than one single flower, each Allium Purple Sensation globe is made up from lots of tiny little individual florets, all coming together to create one perfect bee magnet bloom on a tall and slender stem. 💜

This beautiful Spring-flowering perennial is Dicentra Spectabilis, also known as Bleeding Heart or Ladies Locket. 

Highly recommend for lighting up any areas of dappled shade or woodland gardens. Isn’t she lovely?

Planning your setting and context really does make Planning your setting and context really does make all the difference to the overall design. 

This is Tulip Red Dress, whose gorgeous deep crimson ruffled petals stand out beautifully against the sky blue of all the surrounding Forget-me-knots. 

One of the very last tulips still blooming in our garden, isn’t she stunning? 🌷

You don’t always get what you’d planned for. A You don’t always get what you’d planned for. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Being unexpectedly between contracts means I have time to skill up with some of the many amazing masterclasses, courtesy of my wonderful The Holt membership. 

And while orange was never in my planned garden colour scheme, these lovely Ranculus, together with some fronds of Fennel, blades of Briza Maxima grass, and sprigs of Choisya Orange Blossom, make a beautiful little posy, don’t you think? 

Silver linings (or technically orange, I suppose!) 🧡

“Let’s try something new,” I thought to myse “Let’s try something new,” I thought to myself last Autumn.

While holding a handful of little corms that - quite honestly - looked like something an animal had left behind. 😳 

Fast forward to today and we have a plethora of stunning vivid pink Anemones all around our garden. Totally in love with them, even more so as they’re perennial so should come back next Spring too. 

Looks are very deceiving. In gardening, as in life, sometimes you really do need to just have faith. 💚

Dandelions. They’re a Spring success story this Dandelions. They’re a Spring success story this year in our garden and orchard. 💛 

Providing vital food for bees and other pollinators when not much else is around, did you know all parts of the dandelion are edible? They’re often used in herbal teas and supplements as a natural remedy to support blood sugar management and boost skin, liver, and heart health.👌 

✅  The leaves are high in Vitamin A, C, and K and taste a bit like rocket salad.
✅  The root can be dried and ground into a “coffee” powder for drinks.
✅  The seeds are nutrient-rich, packed with carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
✅  The flowers can be used to make honey (I’ve made some and it’s delicious as well as vegan), herbal drinks, and even wine.

And before anyone comes at me, I’ve left gazillions behind for all our pollinators. Let me know if you’d like the honey recipe. 😋🐝
