Kate & Tamara

The autumnal colours in Kate's own garden…. so uplifting on a grey, rainy day #autumn #seasonalplanting #mygarden

Delighted to be included in the @The_SGD Garden Design Journal this month.

A wonderful day spent earlier this week creating sumptuous arrangements of Chrysanthemums, Dahlias, hedgerow berries and seed heads at our cut flower workshop in Tamara's studio. Thanks to @GabrielsGarden1 for running it. Look out for more dates soon.

A fun little garden designed by Tamara in 2013 to illustrate that in the tiniest of gardens you can still be surrounded by plants and colour. #planting #gardendesign #gardendesigner

Time to relax....the sunken seating area in Kate's 'Time is a Healer' Garden with water pool and mixed planting in beautiful calming shades - a place for contemplation and engagement.

Edible landscaping can be just as beautiful as traditional garden design, there's plenty to choose from to create colour, texture and height. These are some of the luscious herbs and edibles in our garden for @warnersgin #RHSChelseaFlowerShow2018.

Tamara will be playing host to another cut flower workshop in her Norfolk studio next month. Working with creator Gabriel’s Garden they will demonstrate how to create an arrangement with Chrysanthemums, Dahlias, berries and seed heads. 9th October 2019. Contact Tamara for info.

The long border & beautiful Millium & Persicaria in this garden designed by Tamara @tbgardendesigns. Planting is soft & romantic including the owners passion for silver, pink and blue with seasonal bursts of bolder colour and flowers to pick every week of the year!

Looking forward to getting stuck into a bit of home cooking with fruit from the garden soon. Tamara’s speciality is apple & quine crumble and apple sponge cake. #growyourown

Tamara talks to @ProLandscaperUK magazine this month about show gardens, tv appearances and future plans.

From our gardens... this ‘winter savoury‘ or Satureja montana in Kate’s garden has been flowering for ages & the bees love it! Kate has it trailing over a wall but it is great in pots or at the front of a border. It adds a great flavour to meat dishes too. #mygarden

From our gardens ….this dwarf shrub Rose blooming happily in Tamara’s garden is called Rosa ‘The Fairy’ and was one of the first things she planted when she moved home 8 years ago. It produces lovely rosettes late in the season when many other roses have passed their peak.

If you love the work of Piet Oudolf, immerse yourself in his inspirational planting with the @PietOudolfMovie ‘Five Seasons’. There are several screening across the UK in September including at @hauserwirthsomerset where the Oudolf Field is sited. Enjoy!

Planting in dappled shade can often be challenging. For the Scent Garden we designed for @jowhiley at #RHSChelsea we chose a planting palette of white, green, lemon yellow and plum to freshen and enliven a shady area of the garden. Here are some of the plants we chose.
