Rosa Iceberg is making my garden sing this year!

After planting 3 years ago finally it has decided to show me its beauty!

She is quite a something and holds her heads high 💚

What do you think of the use of AI in garden design? Let us know in the comments 👇

With increasing discussion around the role of artificial intelligence in garden design ahead of this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Andrew Duff MSGLD, Chair of the SGLD, has shared some thoughts on the value of professional garden design in an evolving creative landscape.

“As a practising garden designer myself, I recognise that artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly visible part of the wider design landscape and, like many creative professions, garden design will continue to evolve alongside new technologies.

"However, I believe it’s important to be clear about what professional garden designers actually do. Successful garden design is an art form. It is rooted in creativity, collaboration, experience and human connection. While technology may offer useful tools, it cannot replicate the insight, empathy and personal engagement that comes from working with a skilled garden designer to create a living, evolving natural space within the home.

"Good design begins with listening and observing - understanding how people want to live and how gardens function over time. It is about far more than generating attractive images or ideas. It requires professional judgement, technical expertise, site understanding and ongoing collaboration with clients, contractors and specialists.

"AI may become a useful tool for inspiration, visualisation and concept exploration, much as CAD evolved to support the design process. But it cannot replace the human understanding, creativity, accountability and experience that sit at the heart of successful garden and landscape design.

"As the UK’s only professional body for garden designers, the Society of Garden + Landscape Designers will continue to champion the standards, skills and value of the profession while supporting members in navigating a changing landscape. As Chair of the SGLD, I see this as an opportunity to communicate more clearly than ever the value professional designers bring - creating gardens that are thoughtful, functional, sustainable and deeply connected to both people and place.”

Let there be colour! in my garden but only red 😁 with a few exceptions…

I love the contrast of red and fresh light green at this time of year!

Just gave them a bit of water to survive the mini heatwave, and a task not to forget is to remove the invasive Spanish bluebells which have gradually crept in over the last years and need to be removed.
Alliums are next to emerge 🌿

Spring is so exciting!

A beautiful image of a waterfeature nestled within gravel, small boulders and naturalistic planting to connect with the landscape beyond which forms a little pocket garden within a large garden in Surrey.

Very proud that the garden won Gold at the APL awards in 2024 for

Always exciting to frame views with a good design 🌿
