Even in February, our West Sussex garden glows with gentle light. Bold silhouettes offer wildlife sanctuary while dried stems cast shadows across frosted ground, tawny hues dancing in the borders. We garden designers really do have the best job in the world, don't we?!

Respect to all professional gardeners battling the elements this week! Captured by Steph, who tends one of our West Sussex gardens, moments before hail like Maltesers pelted down. With Storms Éowyn & Herminia bringing 100mph winds, nature's making outdoor work tough. 🌧️🌱

Final stop on Penny's Singapore trip: Gardens by the Bay, where 162,900+ plants climb Supertrees & two giant conservatories recreate Mediterranean & mountain ecosystems. From vertical gardens to digital experiences, THIS is how cities should blend horticulture, tech & education.

At @The_Pig_Hotel at Barnsley House, two veg gardens unfold-Rosemary Verey's historic potager meets kitchen gardener Kate North's modern growing space. From French-inspired design to plot-to-plate growing, both feed the kitchens in their own way. Beauty & bounty in the Cotswolds.

From Singapore's Jewel Changi: Rain Vortex recycles 10k gallons/min, sustaining 2.5k trees & 100k shrubs. Highland species from Malaysia to Madagascar thrive beneath filtered light while eco-engineering tackles waterfall humidity. Gardens by the Bay next! #BiophilicDesign

Caught the golden hour in @RHSWisley's Wildlife Garden. From bare earth with @LandformUK during lockdown to seedheads feeding birds & frozen ponds sheltering winter wildlife. @TomHare_'s sculpture catching the last light perfectly 💚 #WildlifeGardening @The_rhs

Singapore's skyscraper gardens, captured by our Landscape Architect Penny Walker, show how 'Garden City' evolved to 'City in Nature'. From Parkroyal's green tech to CapitaSpring's forests & Park Nova's climate-smart curves, Singapore targets 80% green by 2030. #UrbanGreening

The iconic Irish yews at Barnsley House, halved by Verey's son after her death, have matured beautifully into patty pan forms. Now @The_Pig_Hotel group takes on this legendary garden - my winter visit reassured me that Verey's genius still shines - more photos to come!

From snowdrops pushing through frozen earth to 800 waiting tulips, exploring what my January garden teaches about resilience, second chances and finding joy in life's pauses. Plus why Bobby McFerrin's classic has become my unexpected winter anthem.

From Mary's December visit to Pier 6: MVVA's shade islands of trees & sleeping meadows show Brooklyn Bridge Park at its finest. 6 piers transformed from shipping yards into a love letter to urban nature. What a way to end 2024! See you next year for more landscape adventures.🌳🏙️

Walking from Pier 4 to 5: Mary's December photos show how MVVA transformed old Montague Street's industrial edge. 9m earth berms screen noise while native planting creates resilient beauty - those winter berries and copper leaves caught in perfect light.

I wish you could hear the waves," Mary shared from Pier 4 (4 of 6) at Brooklyn Bridge Park. After Pier 3's art, she found what she'd crossed the Atlantic for - ECOncrete units doing double duty as sea defence and marine habitat. Nature doing the heavy lifting!
