A look around our big design and build job in the Cotswolds – it’s really taking shape.

The majority of planting is now in – and well-water thanks to the weather!

Don’t worry, tarmac isn’t the final finish - more will be revealed in the coming weeks.

It wasn't just me who was enjoying this Berberis darwinii!

I spotted this fabulous shrub in a village where it was being used as a hedge.

Such a stunning display and it's also good for deterring unwanted visitors but great for pollinators - did you spot the bee?

An important part of a show garden (or any garden) is the dressing. This beautiful coffee set by Rupert Brakspear featured on our Chelsea garden.

More of his lovely work is at The Artery Studios in Worcester today and tomorrow (April 20 & 21).

Tulipa 'Ballerina' is still upright in my garden despite the storms and high winds.

I love the colour of this tulip and it's one of the varieties that will flower for many years.

You get a very different perspective on my garden from the top of the hide.

It was a favourite spot for celebrities at RHS Chelsea and I'm hoping it’ll be popular with visitors RSPCAStapeley Grange

The green roof is one of the wildlife and climate friendly features.

Great to see the beautiful hide from my RHS Chelsea garden rebuilt in its new home RSPCAStapeley Grange

There are some added guides to wildflowers, birds and animals that might be seen.

This rain catcher was quite a talking point at #RHSChelsea . Conserving water is so important, particularly with the changing climate, and this makes use of water from the hide.

Good to see it installed in the garden at its new home at RSPCAStapeley Grange in Cheshire.

We've been setting out the plants at our Cotswold project ready for planting. It's a good idea to judge the spacing and the flow of a border.

Beautiful plants, as always, from Hortus Loci

It's good to see how well the planting from my RHS Chelsea garden has settled into into its new home at RSPC Stapeley Grange in Cheshire.

Great to see the beautiful rill made from recycled plastics by Smile Plastics in place too

Really glad I got bulbs planted last autumn in my new garden. Just look at that colour - a real mood-lifter.

I love the shocking pink of the bergenia and the flowers are great for early pollinators. It's also great ground cover.

We're adding these lovely taxus and osmanthus topiary domes to our design and build project in the Cotswolds.

These are great alternatives to box for adding year-round structure. There's also the bonus of flowers on the osmanthus

Beautiful plants from Hortus Loci

A front garden with a difference!I I loved the collection of cacti and succulents in this garden in Madeira - it may even be the envy of Ian Thwaites 😉

A wonderful gnarled olive tree from has been delivered by Villaggio Verde - just look how big it is!

This will be planted into a raised bed on the terrace to be viewed from the conservatory and guest suite.
