Happy Festivities from us at ALT.
Our studio is closed from end of play today, reopening on Tuesday 3rd Jan.
See you on the other side 🥳
Another arbour up! Progressing through the build bit by bit! Site visit next week will allow me more pics. Lovely job, great client. #lovemyjob #gardendesign @roundwoodtweet
Very exciting to see this coming together for a wonderful client. Fabulous landscaping detailing from @gardentastic as always #gardendesignsussex
On the way home from an Initial Consultation I stopped in to Danehill Churchyard for an #orchid fix. Meadows looking super imo! We saw our client had a wildflower corner and she is excited about designing in more in for wildlife! Exciting! 💚💚💚 #nativemeadow #supportwildlife
An interesting design, we worked with all the existing walls to rejuvenate and bring to life this coastal garden. A vast amount of plants brought seasonality into the space and also, the joy of colour. From unloved to adored! 💚🌿💚#colourmakespeoplehappy #gardendesign #lovemyjob
I thought I’d share a garden masterplan (pic 1) where we have edited around an existing design (by others) and completed the scheme. (see pic 2 for the whole view). 2 unique styles, but we will make the garden cohesive using careful edits and planting. #gardendesign #editing
ALT Phase 2 Design
ALT Phase 1 and Phase 2 together.
Did the walk of shame back from school this morning! Inset Day failed to make my diary! So my weekend extends a further day! What to do? Well a walk in the woods perhaps? Tree ring counting perhaps? Learning to ID our wildflowers perhaps? Defo gonna be wild! #dayoff #30DaysWild
Today totalled 8 #orchids on 2 wanders! Spotty Spots, Pyramidal, < Butterfly, Bee, Chalk Fragrant, Man, Common Twayblades, White Helleborines! We are lucky in Surrey. So many on the doorstep. @ukorchids @Britainsorchids #dayoff #exploring
Went out for Chicken of the Woods. Instead found a colony of < Butterfly Orchids. Then @FishMushy wandered around a corner! Serendipitous as we were hoping to see a Bee! He kindly walked us to his nearest spot! + Chalk Fragrant, Spotty Spots and Twayblades abundant too @ukorchids
Oh happy days!! A walk to see Chalk Fragrant #Orchids (#3 image) also delivered Pyramidal (I think! After my Heath/Common debacle I’m doubting my ability!), Common Spotty Spots (their official name 😆) and the last of the Burnt Tips. 4 for the price of 1! @Britainsorchids
It isn’t all about orchids (although I’m hunting out some local ones after work tonight!). Yesterday I popped by a long standing client to discuss a design detail. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of this water. How delicious! #masterplan shown for interest. #gardendesignsussex
1/2 Just when I thought I had the basics, along came Heath Spotted! My brain is mush now! No clue what I’m looking at!! @ukorchids @GhostlyVision #orchids #wildflowerhour
Set out plants today for a further phase of this glorious property. It was great to see the planting establishing from last years phase. Bees everywhere 🐝 . Great clients make a project 💚 #lovemyjob #gardendesign #sussex #plantsforpollinators #countrygarden @The_SGD @The_APL
