It’s a great privilege to be able to talk to people about why and how I design.

We had a lovely visit from the Kent Gardens Trust to Reighton Wood recently.

The Gardens Trusts do such a lot to raise awareness of and look after our finest gardens. So many generous volunteers who understand the importance of these beautiful spaces in our busy world.

Thank you to the generous owners who hosted the visit, raising money for @blackthorntrust.

I loved chatting to this week’s House Guest, @marianboswall who says, ‘The first thing you learn as a gardener is how to fail’. A landscape architect, Marian was terrified, age 12, reading Day of the Triffids, realising how we are a tiny part of a huge ecosystem and how important it is to respect and value the land. ‘In my job, you never have all the answers but by finding a connection to the land and designing spaces where people feel happy and fulfilled, it is incredibly rewarding’.

Blurring the edges

Self seeders and volunteer plants dancing up the path, softening the edges and adding that extra layer of surface for pollinators and prettiness.

The kindness of strangers .. Home from our last

The kindness of strangers ..

Home from our last night in Portugal. Work finished and in love with life, we danced in little squares to musicians and buskers playing Saldade music, with bright sunshine and the scent of lime trees and it was lovely. We went to a perfect fish restaurant which was full but let us slip in for an hour before the late sitting arrived, and then on the way back to the hotel I slipped or tripped on nothing and broke my fall with my face on the granite cobbles. So much blood. And kind people stopped and helped and they were our children’s age. And with no Portuguese we were totally in the hands of all those kind people who knew what to do and took care of us. It was so humbling, and so beautiful although frightening at the time. The doctors fixed me up at the hospital and now I’m home to my own happy garden, no harm done.

I shall remember those kind young people. We took their number so perhaps one day they’ll come to stay visiting England. Even if they don’t, we’ll carry a piece of their kindness.

A modern magazine cutting - part of one of the beautiful photos by @mariannemajerus of our project at Lossenham in Country Life this week. See the full article by George Plumptre on page 126 of the Sustainability issue, which also talks about how Sandringham went organic and how to invest in the green economy.

Simply joy. ~ Dostoevsky #clarity #dostoevsky

Simply joy.

~ Dostoevsky

#clarity
#dostoevsky
#harmony
#nature

Full quotation below:

There are seconds, they come only five or six at a time, and you suddenly feel the presence of eternal harmony, fully achieved. It is nothing earthly; not that it's heavenly, but man cannot endure it in his earthly state. One must change physically or die. The feeling is clear and indisputable. As if you suddenly sense the whole of nature and suddenly say: yes, this is true. God, when he was creating the world, said at the end of each day of creation: 'Yes, this is true, this is good.' This . . . this is not tenderheartedness, but simply joy. You don't forgive anything, because there is no longer anything to forgive. You don't really love — oh, what is here is higher than love! What's most frightening is that it's so terribly clear, and there's such joy. If it were longer than five seconds — the soul couldn't endure it and would vanish. In those five seconds I live my life through, and for them I would give my whole life, because it's worth it. To endure ten seconds one would have to change physically . . . .

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
