Planting plan done for Glastonbury Abbey Entrance. A mixture of #raingardens and #batfocusedplanting full of pollen rich bulbs, perennials and shrubs for spring, summer and autumn. 1. Naturalistic bottom-of-wall rain gardens line the entrance (photo is of SuDS infrastructure going in). 2. Simpler naturalistic perennial and grass planting focusing on summer and autumn. 3. St Patrick’s Chapel garden, lots of perennial spires, Yew topiary and an evolving bulb carpet. 4. A tranquil, wild and naturalist garden focused on spring. 5. The all-important bat corridor (Ellie @jcdentalassociates and @claire_thread) linking 2 to 4 and of course the great North Wall!

Tucking the building back into its context by placing boulders to form a living retaining wall (soon to be planted). Move 1: Some things cannot be drawn and need to be worked out on site with a good team and flexible design. Movie 2: The bones are in! … drawings to follow @loynco
We are very pleased to find out our para 84 project in Leicestershire has been approved (our third approval this month). Fantastic clients Chloe and Jolly have been a joy to work for and we are excited to see this one become a reality. @loynco #hughesplanning (JH, ZD)
Final planting for our project in Pembrokeshire with @loynco @carreg_construction. The perennials are now all in, as well as the trees to frame the arrival. Wider landscape trees have been set out, including migrating hedgerow species for the boundaries and a small orchard. A sacrificial seed mix has been put down for summer which will be replaced with a Welsh coastal mix this Autumn. Looking forward to seeing it knit together the next couple of months.

Feeling inspired after a studio visit to @bethchattogardens A huge thank you to Åsa for giving us so much of her time to take us around the gardens and answer our many questions. Thank you so much to Julia and Gill for introducing us to the space and, again, giving us their time. ☀️
Planning has just been granted for an exciting project in Kent. It was a Para 84 project, but for us the most exciting part was the opportunity to restore a damaged ancient woodland. We worked closely with Oak Bank on the 30 year woodland management plan and Ecology by Design on habitat creation for target species. We brought it all together in a site-wide masterplan and illustrative sections. Pic 1: Section through one of the existing streams. Pic 2: Section through the stream after 30 years. Pic 3: Section through one of the existing woodland rides. Pic 4: Section through the woodland ride after 30 years. Pic 5: Section through the worst of the existing pine plantation. Pic 6: Section through the proposed house and diversification of the plantation after 30 years. It was a long a complicated project. But we were also lucky enough to have wonderful clients and to work with Seymour-Smith Architects and Hughes Planning… and thank you @brisa1712 #woodlandrestoration #ancientwoodland #habitatcreation #landscapearchitecture #para84 #ecology #woodlandmanagement
A great morning on site at one of our new projects. Discovering existing mosaic habitats, meadows and old boundary lines. Looking forward to developing into an emerging design in the coming weeks. (JH, TR). . . . #landscape #landscapearchitecture #gardendesign #habitat #meadows #mosaichabitats

Our project in Aberdyfi is in the last stages of being planted. The low grow wildflower turf has bedded in nicely and perennials have been laid out. Pic 1 - The perennial planting plan for around the house. Pic 2 - Setting out of the sheltered woodland walk to the back of the garden and the mixed cloud planting to separate the dining terrace from the shower area. Pic 3 - Original sketch concept and the final structural planting plan with meadow mix and plug planting. Pic 4 - The primary entrance steps cutting through the meadow with a view of the Dyfi estuary..
