Sharing ideas and emotions with the wonderful Stephanie Mahon for the Gardens Illustrated podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/1j5…
Is topography, dead stuff and structure more important than plant choice in driving biodiversity? I think so. Thankyou @gardens_illustrated for publishing
Portable pond, the first of 12 mobile planting and habitats all built on pallets

Thanks to everyone who came to our open day yesterday.
We raised nearly £3500 to pay good gardeners to go and do good things:)
With brownfield often the best place for wildlife and brownfield now sadly the preferred place for development we desperately need this conversation.
A chat through 30 years of obsessions Housing estates, car parks, greenroofs brownfield landscapes………….

As part of our car park design we have replaced 8 parking bays into what will be ‘garden bays’:) Replacing cars with wildlife? Maybe CEOs could make the move and give up their own parking space to plants? Top down sustainability?

We sink ships to attract the best aquatic life. Our gravel/chalk pits/post industrial sites make the best nature reserves. Our wildlife needs chaotic landscapes shaped by disturbance and grazing of large mammals Yet, we design new landscapes without any structural complexity? Why
