It's the cheerful, orange-red winter berries that make this easy-to-care-for plant so special, and indoors or out they add a great bit of winter interest.

I think this is probably one of the most beautiful tree ferns one can grow - the huge, lacy leaves, and delicate golden hairs on the stems and trunk, plus the satisfying rate of growth makes this a worthwhile tree-fern to add to your collection if you have the space!

Planting bulbs in containers is easy, and a great way to get spring colour.

I turned this garden in Manor house from scrappy to a wildlife garden.

I designed, built, landscaped and planted, and still maintain this garden in Archway London.

I created this movable, portable green wall for a client, who lived in a rented house, and wanted to take their plants with them when they moved.

I’ve been working on this garden for several years, and as it’s mine, its where I get to play! It’s my trial garden for new plants, a place for my favorites, and my general weird and wonderful collection of pots, cuttings, seedlings, and general gardening fun. Pics to be updated as the seasons go by….

A bright courtyard – a Highbury and Islington garden update. A small space with a wraparound staircase. Client asked for mixed pots, with climbers. We decided to maximise the space with climbers and trailers in taller pots. Most is evergreen, with spots of herbaceous perennials.

Designed as a low maintenance, modern garden, this garden has 3 areas – a eating area with built in bench, a lawn and planting area, and a morning coffee nook to catch the morning sun.
