A chance conversation with Plant Heritage a few months ago has led to me designing  and building their main display in the marquee at Hampton Court Flower Show.

It has been a really tough one this time with Mick and I solely building a huge display to show Five Continents. It has also been tough trying to find out the exact native plants for each Continent and displaying them aesthetically but also in a scientific way.

Two more days to go and we have suffered extreme heat and…

I posted about my green roof in April last year, and thought it might be helpful for anyone considering doing a similar scheme to post an update. Here in Gloucestershire, this year has been so much wetter than the previous two, and it has made a big difference to the plants on this unirrigated roof. I've decided that I'm not impressed with the system I used to construct the roof: I don't believe (though admittedly I haven't excavated to find out for sure) that the plant roots are able to…

There is an old parlour game; what would be the best professional to be marooned on a desert island with? A clear favourite would be a multi skilled self-employed landscaper. A knowledge of soil management helping to grow food, the ingenuity to fashion purpose built tools, the skills of building a comfortable place to sleep in - all done with much more finesse and a longing for a finer lifestyle than an ex SAS survival specialist and they would be sitting pretty watching the sunset from…

Our businesses occupy a large percentage of our time, being self employed is a different world from being employed. With most employed work when you clock off you can go home and relax until the next morning.

 Self employment, running your own business, means many hours outside of the actual working day spent on paperwork, purchasing, quoting, or even just thinking about everything. I've also spent a lot of dreamtime at work too!

 I relish this about running a business, I love…
