One of the most rewarding parts of our job is getting to revisit past projects and seeing the abundance of wildlife calling the Pond’s we build their home🐸🏠

As the plants mature and nature takes its course, a thriving ecosystem begins to establish, with beautiful clear water🌱

Water is one of the most powerful elements you can introduce into a garden.

It brings movement, reflection and sound, but more importantly, it creates habitat. During periods of extreme heat, a pond, stream or waterfall can become a lifeline for birds, insects, amphibians and other wildlife🦜🐝🐸

A beautiful garden should not only look good. It should support life.

We constructed this Pondless Waterfall just over 2 years ago and it has become a wildlife haven, which is an extremely rewarding part of our job.

A tranquil stream gently meanders through this beautiful garden, thoughtfully designed by @felicityorourke76 . Created as a peaceful haven for wildlife, the stream is especially loved by the birds🦜 who visit, bathe and bring the space to life🌿

A look back at the build for the RHS Chelsea Gold-medal winning @killikandco ‘A Seed in Time’ Garden, designed by @thelandscapetailor and built by Landform.

The Show may be over and the breakdown complete but the garden is being relocated in a new design for @centrepointuk – the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity.

Thanks to everyone who worked on this wonderful garden.

There’s nothing more satisfying than revisiting old projects years on from construction🌿

The abundance of wildlife, mature plants, mossy rocks and calming sounds.

The stream meanders between two seating areas. Large stepping stones connect the spaces, forcing you to take the journey across the water🚶

It takes a village to build an RHS Chelsea Show Garden. Here’s the Build Team behind the @killikandco 2026 ‘A Seed in Time’ Garden. A huge thank you to everyone involved. Designer @thelandscapetailor has also had the backup of @markgregorylandscaper and the Landform Office & Design Team.

It’s water feature time on the @killikandco ‘A Seed in Time’ Garden.

Baz is working with @aquascape_inc products supplied by @landscapeplus_uk and installed by @afriponds again this year. The central structure is designed to collect rainwater and the run off flows into the biodiverse wetland area.

We can’t wait to show you the finished system when it’s complete. Well done Team!

A recap of our last day on the Manchester Swim Pond project 🪏💧

5 weeks completed and the Swim pond is filled up and running 🙌🏼 We’ll be back up to do the aquatic planting and the @w_outdoor_living team will add the decking and board walk - can’t wait to see it all done 🤩

Oh and the remote control boats were a fantastic suggestion🛥️🤣
