It was an amazing morning visiting on the 3rd March Church barn in Essex, UK. 👌🏻🌿

All the Calamagrostis × acutiflora `Karl Foerster` and many perennials were still standing in the garden that we didn’t almost want to cut everything back.

The garden is entering its third year and I was impressed with @leongardens and his team that guided the establishment of the garden to match our vision.

If you see the photos of this garden on our website through the different seasons you will notice the incredible seasonal change that a planting like this can offer.
I still come across many people who think that this garden requires a lot of “maintenance”.

In reality Leon and his team attend the garden one full day on each season to guide the dynamics that occur within this space.

Joined by Adel and Tara the visit of today was to review the scheme and to discuss with Leon the little guidance required within the planting.

If you let perennials perform for you this is the result you can achieve in your garden with very minimal interventions that don’t require work nor maintenance but a simple guidance.

Leon and the team cut back all the perennials and grasses to reveal the emerging bulbs, happy Spring everyone!!! 🌿🥳

The view I mostly enjoyed while talking with Marianne yesterday about her garden we completed together almost a year and half ago in Groningen, Netherlands.🌿✨☃️

Frosts, warm colours of autumnal leaves and birds contributed to the joy of seeing a garden full of energy and life even with temperature below zero degrees. ❄️❄️

When designing an outdoor space consider the garden as an extension of the house. This is the view you will enjoy from the inside of your warm home for at least half of the year. (Central Europe up towards north).

One of the remarks Marianne had about the plants we chose was that the Persicaria filiformis, even though beautiful, it didn’t attract as many insects as the Persicaria she has in the front garden. It is so important to observe these details and share our experiences in the effort to make the best garden for its real inhabitants. 🐞🐝🦋🦟🕷🦗🪲🌿

After few hours talking about plants and enjoying amazing cinnamon buns freshly made with great coffee ☕️ we went to see another garden of ours currently in construction in Groningen. More picture of this second garden to follow soon.

Special thanks
@urbanwildscape for her passion about plants.
@rijnbeekperennials @arnorijnbeek for the perennials and trees.
@cassianschmidt @future.plants for the selection of the Schizachyrium scoparius `Ha Ha Tonka`, such beautiful grass (picture 4).

Seasonal change with Spring, Summer and Autumn in one of our gardens in Essex. 🌿🍃🍂🪵✨
Protagonists of this yearly transformation are grasses, perennials, bulbs, creepers, self seeders, shrubs, trees. They all contribute to the visual appearance and to the longevity of this healthy plant community🌿✨

Obviously you can also go for the seasonal change of a lawn from green to yellow in the second picture. 🫣🫤
