I am having a proud moment.. Englands Gardens A Modern History by Stephen Parker. ( myself !!) Published by Dorling Kindersley worldwide and released…TODAY..🎉🍾🥂

Lovely to be back at The RHS #rhshamptoncourt after a few years away. Highlights include Tom Massey Resilient Garden, based on his DK Books UK book. And @gardendesigner1 wildlife garden. Plus of course Carol Klein and Inspired Earth. Plenty to dive into!

So proud that our school garden has opened at @beechlodge. Been such an honour to work with this amazing school. Phase one done…more to come in the future I hope!

One of the (very) few positives of all this rain in July has been that any new planting has settled in really well. Popped into see some plants we did for a client a couple of months ago, and looking good!

Great trip to National Trust Overbecks today, in Salcombe, Devon. Fab tropical planting, the famous Magnolia campbellii ‘Overbecks’ and brilliant views…

I was lucky enough to work on this garden The RHS #RHSChelsea this year, and the film sums up the importance of it perfectly - Jihae Hwang is an inspiring person and artist, who created ‘A letter from a million years past’

It was the wise old owl that is Philip Clayton who once told me that crocosmias like more moisture than people think - if they are to perform well. And this year proves it. ‘Constance’ has been flowering like never before and looks superb in the summer sun

My planting installation is alive and kicking at the Defender Burghley Horse Trials! A mix of perennials and grasses, it’s an end of season mix to welcome the 170,000 visitors to the event and support the Simon Gudgeon sculptures. Thanks Form Plants Ltd Defender Burghley Horse Trials Burghley

Today I made my own watering can! Thanks so much to those lovely people Haws Watering Cans who showed us every step of the way…including painting it at the end. Was a brilliant day

So pleased the latest edition of The RHS Encyclopedia of Garden Design is OUT NOW!!!! I’ve been Editor in Chief since the first edition but this is our most substantial update. Sustainability, environmental awareness and loads of new plants are just some of the changes! DK Books UK

Roses are among the most versatile adaptable and beautiful of all garden plants- they stand winter cold and summer heat; modern selections flower 6-8 months of the year. It’s time to plant more- find out which and how in my new book: it’s a simple guide perfect for beginners!

Great evening last night for DK gardening books. The lovely and rowdy Class of 24 authors, spending time with trade book buyers and independent bookshops. Thanks to all who took part DK Books UK @DavidHurrion Tom Massey tayshan 🇯🇲 🇮🇹 🇪🇬 🇰🇼 Anya Lautenbach and others!

Magnolia ‘Star Wars’ flowering away…last year it was 2 April. And as ever, Marla the flat coat loves to get in the photo!

I’ll never use X/Twitter again. How dare Elon Musk comment on our Prime Minister. How dare he comment on policing here. How dare he not reduce tensions and violence on our streets. This platform is a disgrace - which is so sad as it used to be great. You’ll find me on Instagram
