Are you available Friday 1 and Saturday 2 May 2026 (9:30am–3:30pm both days) and interested in contributing to an ambitious plant research project? We are offering 30 places on a two-day data collection event at the Plant Library at Serge Hill – a unique living collection of over 2,000 plant taxa. We are collaborating with Dr. Harry Watkins from St. Andrews Botanic Gardens with an exciting and ambitious initiative to develop a new digital resource for gardeners, designers and growers. As climate change reshapes planting conditions, this project aims to build a knowledge base that better captures how plants perform, adapt and contribute to biodiversity. More information and tickets can be found in the link in the bio.

3 new planting trials @sergehillproject using waste aggregates as a mulch within the amazing plant library, run by Head Gardener @millie_souter . These are prototype mulches that will be developed into a planting aggregate for the new landscape to the front of @tate Britain, designed by @tomstuartsmithstudio . Plants are growing well! 🐚🌱 Material strategy and design @localworkstudio - the prototypes are blends of deconstruction waste from the existing gardens and other local waste aggregates

Thank you @gardenmasterclass for an amazing two days with Olivier Fillipi and @jamesscapedesign Wonderful walk in Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert observing nature, planting and environment on day one. Very special to be in the landscape with Fillipi who was such a deep understanding and appreciation of it and is so generous with his knowledge. Interesting exercise with James Bason encouraging us to really look and survey planting in its natural environment. Well worth the two year wait due to Covid delays !!! Thank you @guilfoyleannie

This Sunday I will be running the @parismarathon for @sunnysiderural Trust. Sunnyside is a small charity based in Hertfordshire who provide horticultural training for people with learning disabilities. Being fortunate enough myself to experience both the physical and mental benefits of working in the horticultural industry I strongly believe is making this accessible to as many people as possible. If you can and feel comfortable to, please give generously. Your support will be greatly appreciated. More info and link in bio Xxx
