A little Garden Before and After (& a catch up)
I was on such a role with sharing content wasn’t I? 😂
Well the reality is, it’s the summer holidays, kiddies are at home and I’ve been busy with GARDENS!
It’s all so exciting, I love it so much, this front garden was a great one.
Between now and late September I won’t be planting up any more gardens, it’s just too hot! The heat and the fact that the plants are in their flowering/growing period, puts them under additional pressure planting now and means they require extra care! So it just makes sense to wait until autumn when the ground is still warm but the plants are heading into dormancy. Meaning they’ll put all their effort into putting on strong roots ready for next year.
Saying that, it means right now is all about planning.
Two planting design meetings this week, which entails measuring up the site, collecting soil samples, understanding the light through the garden and rather importantly understanding the needs of the garden from its owners.
Its all full on right now - if I’m not planning a garden, I’m learning the science of plants and I tell you what, at nearly 40, learning in a way I haven’t since uni is a shock to the system. But I’m so bloody eager!
A glimpse of familiarity is on the horizon too, with two incredible weddings coming up - I’m working hard with foureyesdesign to create aesthetically brilliant stationary & floral designs. So watch this space for wedding goodness soon 🌿
