Gardening for floristry at the home garden studio.

We are six months into our new garden, and I have a few exciting projects on the go (just one project at a time? Forget it!). Battling the kikuyu is, of course, not so exciting, so I’m introducing a mix of raised beds with ornamental plantings this time around.

My garden design training is put to good use as I agonise over the space to production ratios, as well as planning a garden for a family of cricket players! All beds and garden rooms are maximised for companionship, ‘double duty’ and of course beauty. Winter is now upon us, and so the seed catalogues are out, working on a couple of new colourways for next growing season.

Watch this space for updates, or find me on Instagram for ‘behind the scenes of getting rather scruffy in the new garden.
