I’ve got a cold so I’m doing a less physical job today, but absolutely one of my favourites. It’s so therapeutic cleaning and sowing seed, and each seed has its own ingenious way of flinging, floating, drilling, drifting, catching etc etc. I am in constant awe of their engineering evolution. But I’m trying very hard not to sneeze!
Particular thanks go to @grassroofco and @tom._coward for some extra special beauties.

1. Tagetes ‘Cinnabar’ - not sowing, just cleaning
2. Lunaria annua- Gravetye’s Little Garden
3. Omphalodes linifolia
4. Glaucium flavum
5. Lupinus arboreus

I snuck in a picture of one of my favourite plants at the moment - Phacelia campanularia. How's that for a blue???!!!

What an absolute honour to have supported the @thechildrenssociety garden at Chelsea. Under the guidance of the incredible @patrick_clarke_landscapes and with the planting magic of @studio_ikram the garden was brought to life. Seeing my plants in a garden full of love was honestly quite emotional and I am overjoyed that it will be going on to offer a place of calm to young people facing difficulties in their lives. What a team! What a garden!
AND I’ve just found out it’s won a GOLD!! 🥇 by @brightgreenfox
