🌸🌿✨ I'm super excited to share with you one of my garden projects that I have just finished working on! It looks absolutely amazing, and I’m so happy with how it has turned out. If you had seen my Stories, you’d know this part of my garden was once disused, heavily waterlogged, and in desperate need of some love.
After months of research and sorting out the problem, I decided to turn this small garden space into a charming container garden! 🌼 Adding a wooden arch has definitely given so much character and height to this tiny space, and I’ve used an array of different types of annual and perennial plants to bring this area to life! 🌷🌱
The @rhschelsea has truly inspired me to be creative and to make use of every part of my garden. There are still a few more plants and objects that I would like to add to this space, but right now I’m super chuffed with how everything has turned out. I hope you all love this as much as I do. 🌻✨
What do you all think? 🌺💚
PS: A huge thanks to @therosepressgarden for providing some gorgeous plants and flowers to help me create this amazing garden project with. 🌸🌿

Apparently the British wine trade go mad for these coveted invites and this year I was one of the lucky ones who got invited by South African wine producer @babylonstoren to the Chelsea Flower Show.
Babylonstoren are the official Rosé 🍇 sponsors of the show and each year a large part of their team including the winemakers and marketing team descend on London to show off the Estate.
We began by tasting their sparkling wine on the VIP balcony with nibbles.
This was followed by a private tour where we were allowed inside the winning installations and the landscape artists explained their artistic visions.
Finally we had an intimate tasting of the wine range with share plates.
Babylonstoren are clearly a perfect fit with the Chelsea flower show as they don’t just grow vines but have a ridiculously beautiful looking Farm, Hotel & Spa.
We even got to take home a few of the goodies that they grow 🙏

Part 3 is out this Sunday!
We’ve been on a mission to show the real side of horticulture and landscaping, in practice and in business. Often overlooked, underappreciated and inaccurately represented in mainstream media. Our mission is to close that gap and show the real behind the scenes and the inspiring, passionate people that make our industry so amazing.
Mark Gregory, managing director of Landform Consultants, has given us that opportunity and with 112 RHS Chelsea Flower Show builds under his belt, there couldn’t have been a better person to learn from. We are very grateful that we had such a rare opportunity to cover this part of the show as those not involved in the build usually only see the finished product. We followed Baz, Georgie and their team as they built this sanctuary garden sponsored by Killik & Co.
We hope you enjoy this video and find it informative and fun; Chelsea is the pinnacle of horticulture, and it has been an honour to document this team!
