We're delighted to be working with Samaritans at #RHSChelsea this year on a fascinating show garden designed by Darren Hawkes to celebrate the charity's 70th anniversary. #SamaritansListeningGarden

Today we are launching the @The_SGD's ‘Say No to Plastic Grass & Plants’ campaign supported by @the_rhs and Landscape Institute. Please show your support for the campaign by reposting and saying ‘No’ to plastic grass and plants or downloading the campaign banner from the SGD website.

In The Times and The Sunday Times today Caitlin Moran lends her support to @The_SGD 'Say No to Plastic Grass & Plants' campaign. thetimes.co.uk/article/caitli…

In today's nattawat @The_SGD co-chair @lynnemarcus explains how plastic lawns are no-go zones for wildlife. “People may say butterflies or bees can land around it, on the strips of soil we have with a few plants, but it’s like if you put a motorway down the middle of a forest.”

A fabulous feature in this month's Garden Design Journal about Manchester's newest park Mayfield designed by @StudioEgretWes. Thanks to Arabella St John Parker for the words and Richard Bloom for the beautiful photography.

In this month's The English Garden Darren Hawkes designer of the Samaritans' Listening Garden at RHS Chelsea talks about designing a garden to mark the Charity's 70th anniversary as a place to sit, share and be heard.

Great progress being made on the Samaritans' Listening Garden at RHS Chelsea last week. So exciting to see it taking shape. Just one more week to go until the big reveal. Good luck to Darren Hawkes and the whole team! Photo by Melissa Love.
