Coming Together at Chelsea Flower Show

For the Chelsea Flower Show 2026 we worked with Rob Hardy & Co to help realise ‘The Together Garden’ for the Trussell Trust, sponsored by Project Giving Back. The garden was inspired by the way food banks, and the communities that support them, come together to help those on the lowest incomes. Peter Gregory Landscapes ran the hard landscape works and directed the month-long build. Our responsibility was the planting design and managing the planting team made up of professional gardeners, garden designers and volunteers.

The garden won Gold, Best Construction and the coveted People’s Choice Small Show Garden Award.

Down on the farm

With the architecture nearing completion, focus now swings to the gardens at our project in North Cornwall. We’re so excited about the first phase of planting which is due to start in the next couple of weeks. Watch this space for updates.

Stonework in Portscatho

With the weather cooling and contractors waiting for new windows and doors to arrive, garden works are proceeding at pace in Portscatho at our ‘Cornish Jungle’. Details matter but even more so in small spaces like this where every inch counts. The walls are Cornish slate and on the ground we’re combining classic limestone paving from Ca’Pietra with clay pavers from London Stone for a beautiful contrast in texture. Planting to commence in September ‘26. More photos to come!
