It's #WorldWaterWeek and we're highlighting water security. 🌲 We plant trees on non-agricultural hillsides to increase infiltration and avoid excessive run-off. 🌧 Our landscape design practices ensure that all projects are created with water quality and quantity considered.

We believe that nature should lead the design process so if you're wondering how to do this in your own garden, one of the most rewarding ways is to create a wildflower meadow. We've got a new stock of Kent Wildflower Seeds here at Nicholsons at The Park ready for sowing.
