Spring is nearer….
Lovely little shoot at one of my favourite gardens, Bristol University Botanical Garden…. Prunus mume in full effect… at last! after weeks of cold, the air feels milder and there is some colour!
Blossom at Bristol Botanic Gardens, spring is here!
Autumn Flower Photography for a cold winter day!
It’s freezing here in the office and I’ve got my long-johns on, but Ive just been editing pics from a recent autumnal shoot at Bristol University Botanic Gardens, and the warmth of the colours is helping keep the frost out of this room! Its going to be a while before we see these colours again in the gardens of England, but one of the joys of this job is reminding yourself what you did earlier in the year!

Powis Castle, A National Trust Garden through the seasons…
I have had the privilege in the last year of photographing at Powis Castle in Wales. I have been taking pictures through the seasons for the National Trust guidebook, and its been a joy revisiting the garden every few weeks… the structure of the garden shines through and the lovely planting ‘dresses’ up those terraces, borders and vistas. The actual castle is an imposing building, full of history, collections of antiquities, and a supposedly good collection of ghosts! The gardeners, led by David Swanton, do a great job, and as with all the N.T gardens, its always a picture (literally!)

Snowdrops are all the same
All snowdrops are the same. Aren’t they? Flower and garden photography makes you look closely at the details, and these lovely little spring flowers are distinctive in their details… they may look like ‘little white flowers’, but look closely and the differences are evident. I shot these pictures at East Lambrook Gardens (former home of margery Fish, now owned by Mike Werkmeister), last spring… and I’m already looking forward to February when these plants will break through the frosty ground and pressage the oncoming spring… how poetic I am feeling this morning…

Dahlias at Varfell Farm, Cornwall
I was down in Cornwall last year to shoot a house but had a spare day beforehand. I asked Varfell Farm (home to the National Dahlia Collection) if I could spend a couple of hours in the Dahlia fields… wow, they really are the king of late summer flowers…many thanks to Varfell!

Chelsea Flower Show 2011
Been at Chelsea all day and have come back with another huge selection of images that need to be edited… gardens that cought my eye were The Daily Telegraphs by Cleve West (best in show?), Diarmuid Gavin’s, The RNIB garden, The RBC New Wild Garden and the B and Q garden. The question on everyone’s lips has been ‘but is it really gardening’?… personally, I love my allotment and getting my hands dirty… it would be a bit annoying if you left your wheelbarrow a hundred foot up in the air !
