Pantone have announced #colouroftheyear 2026:
Pantone 11-4201 Cloud Dancer. Described as ‘billowing white imbued with a sense of serenity’ & other baffling phrases. Confused? Me too! In the spirit of serenity here’s Rosa ‘Iceberg’ with mandevilla & agapanthus (varieties unknown). #RoseWednesday 🌱

Thank you!

Need to be careful as don't want to create a heavy screen casting shade onto the new border on the other side.

There is already Trachelospermum at the far end, so probably late flowering clematis.

Thank you!

Trellis painted, gravel boards painted, posts and caps painted with two coats of black stain - all fixed in place too.

Thank goodness 🙏

As with weeding, It will be worth it at the end 😂

I know, I don't really have a space at the site to spray the trellis.

I'll have to go the slow route.

I think that's a positive, right? 😉🤣

The ground is really sodden, so trying to stay off it, getting ready for planting soon.

Coat one, another needed x 3 panels.

Painting garden trellis panels....

Is there anything more laborious?

Getting a lot of coverage.

I'll have to pop into Tesco and get some.

Next week will be the last #GardensHour of the year. Let’s get a little festive if you wish. Show off your displays, decorations, festive and wintery colours in your garden and houseplants.

We also usually ‘share’ a favourite drink and nibble as we enjoy a virtual party

I'll have to give them a try, I do really like mince pies.

#StormBram will bring strong winds & heavy rain from tonight. But will our weather stay unsettled all week? 🌧️

Red suits you!

Just right, or if being ultra picky, a few seconds less for me 😉

That's what makes this world beautiful, that we all like different things.

The rock garden, with gentle music and the lighting highlight the tree backdrop and the multiple layers to the area.

It's not going to be for everyone, and that's OK as we all appreciate different things.

I have to say that the lighting at Wisley really highlights the structure of the trees and shrubs.

Yes, there's the glitz and glam side which gets the 'wow' effect, but there are plenty of quieter moments where the lighting really shows how trees provide structure in a winter landscape.

Looking very inviting 🎄

A collage of six photos from my tiny garden on the first Saturday of December. The large pictures are Salvias, still producing a few flowers. There are some Hazel catkins and yellowing leaves of Stephanandra. At the bottom beautiful flowers of Vinca Jenny Pym and the sweetly scented flowers of winter Honeysuckle.

I thought I would miss another #sixonSaturday from my tiny garden but instead of the forecast rain we have some sunshine! Description in Alt text. 🌱

Last night the weather was vile at RHS Wisley for Glow, but can we take a moment for the lights...

They are just brilliant in the rain!!

Thank you 😁

Moments and Memories, Persica Hybrid and You’re My Everything, Rose of the Year 2025.
A chilly and bright morning - which is lovely. Rain later - not so lovely!
Have a good day everyone, take care. #roses 🌱

Not quite finished (due to weather) but this tile mural on our Hertfordshire project is looking amazing.

An abstract interpretation of ikat weaving that originated in SE Asia, where our client spent years in the fashion industry.
