My pictures from the very lovely, very swell @proj My pictures from the very lovely, very swell @project.giving.back party at the @gardenmuseum tonight would have consisted of many backs of heads and a far away bleached-out screen, so here instead is one of Adam Hunt, friend, neighbour and recipient of the scheme’s generosity, looking mighty chuffed and a little overwhelmed to have won Best in Show at #rhschelsea2022 for the @urquhart_hunt beaver-friendly habitat for Rewilding Britain @rewildingb. It was their first show garden there, all thanks to PGB’s financial support and what a result! So good too to have such a gathering of gardencentric folk back in a room together, friends old and new. And the food from #gardenmuseumcafe 👍👌 #projectgivingback #smartyparty #gardensforgoodcauses
Just a few of the #dahlias raided from neighbours’ gardens for the parish harvest supper tomorrow. Stemless ones get a day or two’s grace floating in water. Now I have to make up 10 vases (have more)! #kindneighbours #harvestsupper #villagelife

Always thought my neigbours' beautifully cut hedge Always thought my neigbours' beautifully cut hedge looks like a perruque wig, as worn at Versailles. Such an inviting entrance to the garden, 👏 @janepamelahodges #clippedhedge #beechhedge #gardengate #fullofpromise #whatliesbeyond

Honoured to be in the commemorative issue for #hmq Honoured to be in the commemorative issue for #hmqueenelizabeth of @countrylifemagazine this week with wonderful pictures by @clivenichols accompanying my story of the great line of women who built and rescued The Japanese Garden at Cowden - not something you would expect to come across in the foothills of the #ochils in the middle of the Scottish nowhere. @cowdengarden #japanesegarden #scottishgarden #clackmannanshire
Always always happy to visit #kettlesyard where li Always always happy to visit #kettlesyard where light and the space between is as important as the actual objects . Such a feeling of tranquillity, despite the groups shuffling through. One of my favourite places in the world #stillspace #jimede #pebbles #shadows @kettlesyard
#lightfantastic - trip down #memorylane to Cambrid #lightfantastic - trip down #memorylane to Cambridge with niece. An awful lot of cranes, scaffolding and tourists - and the lawns aren’t what they used to be (very reasonably) but what lovely weather and how welcoming all the colleges. The flag is flying full mast as we were walking by on Accession Day; at 1pm Sunday they were all lowered again. Queen’s College gate was draped in black and closed to all - fair enough #almamater #autumnday #kingscollegecambridge #clarecollegecambridge #thebacks
The closest I got to #HMQ - on a visit to Bruton The closest I got to #HMQ - on a visit to Bruton in 2019. Imagine all the hundreds of thousands of times she passed the waving crowds, knowing that they would remember that moment for ever. With gratitude for a long life of such duty so gracefully given, handbag on the arm and a warm smile to the very end.
