Head Gardener at Lord Wandsworth College, Hampshire. Over on Instagram same handle, occasionally featuring the turf team but mainly flowers, I just love them ♥️
Views from my week off work. I also bought a house, it’s got a garden, but I’m not planning a lawn, patio and flowers is the plan. #SixOnSaturday
New to me, the Jersey Tiger moth, flashies of orange when it’s in flight. #InsectThurday
It’s not fun and they are putting in new electrical cables, also not helping.
I struggle with red, and I don’t seem to plant a lot of it, it also doesn’t photograph very well. #GardenersHour @gardenshour.bsky.social
There’s a lot of brown out and about, but I found some colour. #SixOnSaturday
No real joy, the diggers are on site, they are all very charming but it’s not helping . 🤨🙁 #Gardenshour @gardenshour.bsky.social
#insectThursday and I’m going with Spongy Moth or Gypsy Moth caterpillar.
My highlight for June, our wildflower swail, only sown in the autumn so still very new but quite lovely. I’ve got more areas planned. @gardenshour.bsky.social #gardenshour
The whole scheme is doing very well only watered it twice at the start.
More sunshine in the form of Achillea ‘Coronation Gold’, establishing very well in the new drought garden. #SundayYellow
Nearly at the end of term and only a marquee to dress, I mean if they can’t see the marquee they’re in all sorts of trouble. #FlowersOnFriday
Riots of colour you say 🤔, I’ve gone with soft pinks and blue skys with these Foxtail lillies @gardenshour.bsky.social #gardenshour
A photo from last week’s trip to Oxford Botanical Gardens. #SundayYellow
I was there last summer, it’s quite stunning and it’s free to enter. 😁
Let’s have a blast of colour for this weeks #SixOnSaturday. (I haven’t been able to upload photos the last few weeks 🫤)
Yes very short lived, Corel Charm was pink on Monday, ivory today. 🙁
Bees all over the salvia today, I’m still not enjoying the heat. #InsectThursday
An Iris down at the colleges main entrance for #FlowersOnFriday unfortunately I don’t know the name.
Bees all over the show, slow down and count the number of different species, 270 in all. #InsectThursday @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social
An assortment of Iris from last weekends garden visits. #SixOnSaturday
