Weekend off grid and creating a dead hedge and getting ready for the live hedging
Last week seems so long ago but had an amazing day @hudsonlighting as part of our course training with @londoncollegegardendesign. From learning about the different qualities of light and their effects to the manufacturing process at Hudson and my favourite dark skies compliant lighting which as designers we need to aim for.
It is staggering the amount of light pollution that exists across the world in certain areas- if you uplight a tree and birds are nesting then they stay awake all night!! Affects their nesting, their ability to produce offspring and their life span. It gets worse for bats with at the extreme being entombed within a house unable to leave because of garden lights!!
It’s time to leave the Miami effect behind and let’s think classy and sensitive.
A big thank you to everyone @hudsonlighting for giving us an amazing and insightful day.

🌿 Weather Whiplash, Anyone? 🌿
Is everyone ready for this rollercoaster weather? From glorious double-digit temperatures—perfect for a bit of chainsawing and marveling at mycorrhiza in action—to snow just a couple of days later! And by the end of the week? We’re back to warmer days again. British weather at its finest!
While out in the garden, I spotted snowdrops already in bloom and even an Exochorda x macrantha starting to bud—nature never fails to surprise us. Today, I made a trip to West Kington Nurseries Ltd and couldn’t have been more grateful that everything I needed was tucked away under cover. The outdoor plants? Snuggled up under a blanket of snow!
We’re still planting bulbs and braving the cold—stay warm and keep enjoying the beauty of winter gardens. The seasons might be confused, but the plants are thriving in their own way! ❄️🌸

🌞 Who else has been soaking up this glorious warm weather? It's like the plants are as confused as we are – still blooming and showing off when they’d usually be winding down! 🌸
But, winter is coming, and it's time to give those precious plants a nice warm blanket. This week, I stocked up on a bale of straw to wrap around the crowns and add an insulating layer to the soil, ready for the colder days ahead. 🥶
I've also brought my more delicate plants indoors (as many as I could squeeze in!). But my Ensete ventricosum banana? It's staying outside with a bit of extra TLC – a thick layer of straw, a snug wrap for the planter, and a cosy spot near the house. Fingers crossed it pulls through! 🤞🌿
How are you prepping your garden for winter? 🍂

Gee i love getting out to @west_kington_nurseries and I haven’t been out for a little while and the range of plants they have is amazing even if I was dashing between the deluges….😳
