Beyond excited to be able to share some of the incredible shots taken earlier this year by the very talented @mariannemajerus 📸 These ethereal photographs perfectly capture the movement and vibrancy of the borders. We look forward to being able to share some more inspirational planting posts from the shoot! 💜 —— #mariannemajerus #mariannemajerusphotography #mariannemajerusgardenimages #gardeninspiration #garden #gardendesign #gardendesigner #gardendesignideas #goldenhour #plantingdesign #summer #summergarden #landscaping #soceityofgardendesigners #gardensofinsta #beautifulgarden #dreamgarden #gardenlandscaping #surreygardens #kentgardens #sussexgardens #nichoward #weloveplants #passionforplants #gardenphotography #flowers #gardeninspo #nepeta #geranium #countrygarden

So lovely to receive client update pictures. Beautifully captured earlier in the week, the contrasting textures and vibrant colors of Hakonochloa and Pyrus Chanticleer create such a breathtaking visual display. The cascading mounds of Hakonochloa's arching leaves, along with its beautiful autumn foliage, adding such grace in the garden. And the upright, pyramidal shape of Pyrus Chanticleer, with its brilliant autumn foliage adds more interest and beauty to the terrace. Autumn really is such a lovely time to appreciate the changing colors and savor the last moments of warmth before winter arrives. It's so wonderful to find solace in the beauty of your garden, especially during the wet weather. Nature has a special way of giving us those moments of peace and joy, even when times are challenging. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #autumn #autumncolors #autumnleaves #autumnvibes #autumnvibes🍁 #countrygarden #countryliving #fall #fallcolors #fallvibes #garden #gardendesign #gardening #gardeninspiration #gardensofinstagram #grasses #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #loveautumn #macro #meadow #orange #orangeisthenewblack #plants #shrubs #sunshine #yellow @northhillnurseries @howgreennursery @chelmervalley @_londonstone @thelistbyhouseandgarden @societyofgardendesigners @houzzuk @balilandscapeuk @baliawards @apl_news @deepdaletrees

With the red uniform and the festive audio, Christelle, Scott & Henry really are looking like Christmas elves working in the garden😂 Have you been following along with our Surrey project? Take a look at Phase 3 of planting… the Façade✨ we absolutely love it! The next step will be to mulch the bed after the electrics have been installed. #instagarden #gardening #gardeninspiration #gardendesigner #gardendesign #surrey #outwoodsurrey #flowersofinstagram #surreygardens #landscapedesign #mygardentoday #surreyhills #surreylifestyle #surreylife #façade #facadedesign #facadedetail #gardendesigners #gardendesignuk #gardendesignsideas #gardendesigninspiration #landscapedesigner #gardenproject

…The Courtyard✨ here’s phase 2 of planting at our current Surrey project and as a team, we’re certainly feeling the rewards! It’s amazing how the pops of colour from our planting borders, just instantly illuminate this otherwise shaded space and bring it to life.

Sky Mirror Chalice adds a meditative aura to this elegant contemporary garden, designed by award winning garden designer @nichoward.
