You can’t beat a bit of Continuing Professional Development in person. Unless, that is, the fire is on, a cat is ready to cuddle in, and there’s a series of online Masterclasses from planting, design and rewilding experts to watch from home.

Thanks to
Gardens Illustrated Harris Bugg Studio for the first Masterclass 🌿

A trip back to The Hidden Gardens to see the gardens in the golden light of autumn. Loving their bug hotels nestled in the corners. And the wild and soft planting appearing on the edges.

The gardens are especially lovely at this time of year. Find this city sanctuary garden a short walk from Pollokshields East train station, behind the Tramway, in Glasgow’s Southside.

September peak in the Top Shop garden. Cosmos, pot marigolds, blackcurrant sage and rudbeckia are still going strong this mild yet windy September.

Companion gardening with Robbie.

We’ve reached that time of year where hedges can be cut, borders revamped, plants lifted and split. The consistency through the seasons? Our gardening friend 🌿♥️

Marsh orchids are popping up around Cowal garden meadows. They are much happier with the rain than I am at the moment 💜

When you let the grass grow. Year after year. The wildflowers come. Mowing paths round the edges or through the lawn, means you can still traverse and balance between formal and informal.

Wild grasses and flowers mingle with ornamental grasses, shrubs, trees and flowers in this client’s gorgeous garden. Created by a designer and plantswoman, our client, every season there’s a gorgeous moment to enjoy as the garden transitions.
