Galanthus ‘Lord Kitchener. Uncanny, don’t you think? Spotted at Thenford Arboretum with the Garden Media Guild. PS Your garden needs YOU 🤍

This was WONDERFUL. Jackanory for adults and so perfectly pitched. Please do more - the spookier the better!

Daughter said to me she can’t understand why they used that word for an STD when it’s the perfect description for an anti-diarrhoea medication 😂

I went this morning, beautiful light… Wandered the opposite side and went to the Hilltop talk about the NHS gardens. Felt like I dusted off a few of my cobwebs!!

The walled garden at historic Borde Hill… About to undergo a forward-thinking redesign by @ann-mariepowell.bsky.social,
becoming a kitchen garden and dining experience, in keeping with the heritage of the surroundings. Watch this space.

Yep, thoroughly depressing- the trickier we can make it for them, the better!

Christmas at Edinburgh Botanics absolutely smashed it out of the botanical park! I mean, look at this fibre optic depiction of the mycelium networks beneath our feet… And accompanied by Danny Elfman’s music from Charlotte’s Web, which is completely in keeping. As wonderful as I’d hoped!

How on earth?!!! And especially with depleted energy, too. That is wondrous 🫶🏼💚🙌🏼

In search of a positive spin on the word ‘decay’ in terms of the natural breakdown of gardens in winter… The plants retreat & replenish their energy; fallen leaves nourish the soil; twigs and other matter make bug snugs for overwintering insects… @susiedent.com is there a positive word for decay?!

It’s not *really* a dance show, though. It masquerades as a dance show, but actually it’s just light entertainment with cheery folk & colours & sparkles & music & disco lights that’s supposed to give us a wee lift in the winter. Anyone getting salty about results needs to loosen up 🪩

I’m so glad you shared this - picking daughter up from uni soon so I’ve booked tickets to go. It’s the coolest, geekiest thing I’ve seen in ages!

Two different sides to last week! Both utterly memorable! Celebrating the best of the industry in our Savoy gladrags for the Garden Media Guild awards / early starts and frosty toes at Beth Chatto’s for November photos 💚
