Trees. It’s that time of year when the Pyracanthas are on fire! Beautiful as hedges, or trained against a wall, or even grown as a tree like this example. Full sun produces the best glowing berries and an added benefit is that the presence of thorns means they act as a security barrier. I just love a multitasking plant. I can help with choosing the best plants for use in your garden, message me for details. #treetuesday #urbantrees #coastaltrees #coastalgardendesign #coastalplanting #southendonsea #seasideplanting #gardendesigner #gardendesignersouthend #gardendesignerleigh #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #urbangarden #urbangardendesign (at Westcliff-On-Sea Seafront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHa4F16l-hj/?igshid=1ndx7a8xxcied

Inspiration. A bit of calm reflection for monday as we enter a new week.... It’s business as usual for The Garden Revamp Company, thankfully I can still draw, plan and design your dream garden or outside space and now is the perfect time to get cracking to make sure your garden is ready for 2021 #motivationmonday #designinspiration #gardens #gardendesign #gardendesigner #gardendesignersouthend #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesignersofinstagram #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #hasog #urbangarden #urbangardendesign #coastalgardendesign #southendonsea #leighonsea (at The Garden Revamp Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYTJw5lasO/?igshid=1asddg9gi75kx

Trees. What a stunner! Euonymus carnosus ‘Red Wine’ proving that even when the sky is dull and rainy you can still get a blast of colour to brighten up the day. This fairly compact semi evergreen shrub will work hard in your garden all year round, especially if teamed with more great autumnal planting for a really fabulous display #rhshydehall #treetuesday #treesofinstagram #euonymuscarnosus #plantsofinstagram #urbantrees #coastaltrees #coastalgardendesign #coastalplanting #southendonsea #seasideplanting #gardendesigner #gardendesignersouthend #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesignersofinstagram #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #urbangarden #urbangardendesign (at RHS Garden Hyde Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIsN-2lIaz/?igshid=1deog35le8p9k

Design. Stunning mix of soft grasses and clipped yew at #rhshydehall and such a perfect example of an effective planting pallet designed to last through Autumn/Winter. I admire Hyde Hall so much for their innovative use of blocks of texture and colour throughout the whole garden. Such a joy to visit regardless of the time of year and always full of inspiration.

Skills. Perseverance. Despite being cut down for safety reasons, this beautiful old Cedar clearly refuses to give up. I love how nature teaches us so many valuable life lessons #treeskills #naturerules #lifeskills #getbackupagain #gardendesign #gardendesigner #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #hasog #urbangarden #urbangardendesign #coastalgardendesign (at The Garden Revamp Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGVC1XoJnqD/?igshid=5nc0i9dx8f5u

Trees. Still my favourite, Ginkgo biloba. A tree species so ancient in it’s roots that it witnessed the downfall of the dinosaurs. Not only does it help us in the fight against pollution, but herbal remedies made from Ginkgo leaf extract contain powerful antioxidants which can be used to treat anxiety and depression, in addition to it’s anti-inflammatory properties. Visually it’s leaves are extremely pretty, unusually shaped and offer a stunning display of Autumn colour #treetuesday #treesofinstagram #urbantrees #treelove #treeoftheday #gardendesigner #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesigneressex #hasog #thegardenrevampco #urbangardener #ginkgo #maidenhair #ginkgoleaves #herbaltreeproduct (at The Garden Revamp Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGSZJ3YFgTw/?igshid=1jt56y8p4lslq

Inspiration. THE most gorgeous autumn colours today as we took a stroll around #harcourtarboretum @oxfordbga Warming tones of burnt orange, caramels, golden yellows and fiery reds invoked a sense of calm and tranquility. Long has it been known the positive effect that forests have on wellbeing, through smells, sounds, textures as well as colours #familytime #unidays #forestbathing #forests #autumncolors #gardendesigner #autumnleafwatch #thegardenrevampcompany #southendonsea #leighonsea (at Harcourt Arboretum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGN1y1EFxDH/?igshid=1nra57msqfv9k

Skills. Everyone knows that green roofs are fantastic for wildlife, improve energy consumption and help reduce water runoff, but did you know that they also increase the life of your roof? The planted substrate actually creates a barrier that protects the original roof membrane and can extend it’s life by a third! Now that is worth thinking about when installing your new garden office... #gardens #gardendesign #gardendesigner #gardendesignersouthend #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesignersofinstagram #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #hasog #urbangarden #urbangardendesign #coastalgardendesign #planting #plantingdesign #plantsofinstagram #southendonsea #leighonsea (at The Garden Revamp Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGHptRQFCZD/?igshid=apfxqmtn0rsz

Projects. I absolutely loved creating this design for a new school allotment, outdoor learning area and sensory garden. Lots of funding campaigns are needed to get this wonderful eighth of an acre plot up and running and I’m already feeling the community spirit. Fantastic project to be involved in. #harwich #sensorygarden #wellbeing #communitygarden #schoolgardensmatter #gardens #gardendesign #gardendesigner #gardendesignersouthend #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesignersofinstagram #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #hasog #urbangarden #urbangardendesign #coastalgardendesign #planting #plantingdesign #plantsofinstagram #southendonsea #leighonsea (at Harwich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFw9jm-FavC/?igshid=1frx4ftaf5e3e

Trees. Look at this perfect row of pleached cherry trees set in the beautiful grounds of @wivenhoehouse We were fortunate enough to steal a night away and this was our backdrop at breakfast. Pleached trees are a really great way of dividing space, blocking unwanted views or even softening the sun’s rays, but all done in a totally natural ‘meant to be there’ way. They do require a bit of investment in terms of time and money, but the results speak for themselves and they truly provide a long term reward. #treetuesday #treesofinstagram #plantsofinstagram #urbantrees #coastaltrees #coastalgardendesign #coastalplanting #southendonsea #seasideplanting #gardendesigner #gardendesignersouthend #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesignersofinstagram #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #urbangarden #urbangardendesign (at Wivenhoe House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFcUys9lu7G/?igshid=3tw8fllpjim8

Colour. Just look at these sumptuous Hylotelephium (Sedum) at RHS Hyde Hall, wouldn’t you just love this giant block of boldness brightening up your space? #rhshydehall #plantingdesign #planting #plantsofinstagram #gardens #gardendesign #gardendesigner #gardendesignersouthend #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesignersofinstagram #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #hasog #urbangarden #urbangardendesign #coastalgardendesign #planting #plantingdesign #plantsofinstagram #southendonsea #leighonsea (at RHS Garden Hyde Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKdzTnFrpM/?igshid=1ivs5744tkh5d

Inspiration. Now this is how a lawn should look. A juicy, green carpet of grass, expertly laid and mowed by the wonderful landscaper who built this garden that I designed. Bryan is a true craftsman, paying attention to every detail. If you are going to dedicate some space in your garden to a traditional lawn, then this is your inspiration #motivationmonday #designinspiration #gardens #gardendesign #gardendesigner #gardendesignersouthend #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesignersofinstagram #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #hasog #urbangarden #urbangardendesign #coastalgardendesign #southendonsea #leighonsea (at Leigh on Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE1B6a_FYny/?igshid=105faibkqraw3

[thegardenrevampco]

Plants. A barrow full of sedge. These Carex oshimensis ‘Evergold’ are evergreen so their gorgeous colour will keep the garden looking bright all year round. They pretty much grow anywhere except the driest of soils and are very hardy, such a wonderful hardworking addition to any planting scheme. I can help with choosing or sourcing plants to complement your planting design, or simply as a service on its own. DM me for details.

Design. Over 350 plants moved and set out, boulders in place and a few plants actually in the ground. Not bad for a day’s work by li’l old me (at Leigh on Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpLltSlLM1/?igshid=1ufzeuiauitje
