Doing another round of leaf blowing today and finding leaves sticking up out of the ground, did a bit of inverstigation and they've been used to block holes, amazing! Does anyone know what creature does that? Solitary bees?

Discussing thoughts on getting these two Pyracantha back to the wall and into columns with client, client looks at me like I'm talking a different language, which I realise I probably am! #hortspeak #saywhat #walltraining #pyracantha #berries

Meet the latest member of the gardening crew, Fig, she'll be on landscaping and pruning duties judging by the state of my lawn and plants! #puppy #digger #chewseverything #butterwouldntmelt

Hooray for soil fauna!

Did you know? The Distinguished jumping spider is one the UK's most threatened species - it can only be found on two sites! But, one of those sites is Swanscombe Marshes, and it is under threat from development. Please sign our petition to #SaveSwanscombe: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no-f…

The WFGA needs large training Gardens to support our work to promote horticultural education & training. Demand for our unique WRAG scheme means waiting lists of potl keen trainees. So if you have a large garden or you are a head gardener. Pls look at our website for full T&Cs

Fantastic news for a brilliant project in Bristol. More tiny urban forests! bbc.in/36ByhyJ #southmeadcommunityforest #bristol #tinyforest

Made a friend at a client's garden today, she was very chatty and ate all the cockchafer grubs, bonus! #chickensoftwitter #gardenbuddy #naturalpestcontrol #gardening #bloodyfreezing

Hedge cutting: some balance🧵 I see a lot of outrage over hedge cutting. And this gives me so much hope, as it shows a level of emotional investment in these wonderful habitats Often, this frustration is justified, but sometimes its a little misplaced. Let's have a closer look..

Exploring some new walks, fields full of dandelions and a skylark spotting 🤩😍 #bathskyline #skylark #dandelion #meadows #englishcountryside

Woke up to rain this morning, but it's still not penetrated the ground! Will be doing a raindance at lunchtime!

Just why???

Walking at the glacial speed of a 4 year old having its benefits yesterday, getting the sproglet involved in some #wildflower identification, think #creepingthistle will definitely stick after being sat on 😳🤪 #startthemyoung

Good morning! #hellosunshine #summershere #byebyerain

Every time I go to one of my gardens it's like Christmas, seeing most of them for the first time at this time of year. One absolute gem that's just blooming is this #Clematis, possibly 'Royal Wedding'. The size of those #flowers!!

After #NoMowMay I did a quick survey of the species that had sprung up in this #lawn, I counted over a dozen different #wildflower (red + white clover, ribwort plantain, orange + mouse ear hawkbit, lesser + greater trefoil, ragwort, primula, dock, buttercup, common velvet grass)

Morning well spent eating cake and enjoying this fabulous #Japanese #garden in suburban Bristol. Martin has spent years building everything in the garden from scratch, its beautiful! Definitely recommend a visit, they're open today and tomorrow. National Garden Scheme

Chuffed to bits with the way this border planting is coming on, #Rudbekia 'Gloldsturm' and #Persicaria 'Darjeeling Red' all up in your face as the #nepeta starts to go over looks like a second flush on the #Euphorbia epithymoides too #planting #garden #flowers #latesummer
