    Chelsea Physic Garden, London

    Chelsea Physic Garden It’s hard to believe that nestled in the heart of Chelsea on the bank of the Thames is London’s oldest botanic garden. Home to 5000 different species of medicinal, herbal, edible and useful plants, Chelsea Physic Garden was founded by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in 1673, in order to grow medicinal

    Conservatory Archives, London

    14th August 201914th August 2019

    There came a point on my life when I started to question whether I did in fact own too many house plants. That weekend we stopped by Conservatory Archives, and I can safely say that there is officially, no such things as too many indoor plants! Based on Hackney Road, Conservatory Archives is a plant

    St Dunstan In The East, London

    31st July 20194th August 2019

    Finding green spaces in London I think will always be a fond pastime of mine. I tend to feel a little smug when, in the midst of a busy working day I’m still able to seek out moments of calm in the most unexpected of spaces. St Dunstan in the east is just one of

    Japanese Inspired Topiary Garden, Wootton, Bedfordshire

    28th July 20194th August 2019

    Our local area takes parts in the National Garden scheme every year and this year, 26 gardens in Bedfordshire (both public and private) opened their gates to raise money for nursing and health charities. We visited a Japanese inspired topiary garden a few weeks ago, owned by a couple in Wootton. Compact, sheltered and lusciously

    The Fernery – Claydon House, Buckinghamshire

    26th July 20194th August 2019

    Claydon House is somewhere that I hold very close to me. My grandparents used to bring me here on summer afternoons as a child and some of my fondest memories are exploring the grounds with them. We’d sit in the shade of a crooked tree in a field in front of the church and feast

    Kettles Yard, Cambridge

    16th June 201817th November 2019

    I can still remember the first time I visited Kettles Yard back in 2007/2008 (Basically a really long time ago). To be honest I didn’t even know it existed until my mum (upon learning I was set on applying to study art at university), bundled me in the car and drove me to Cambridge. Next

    Castle Ashby Orangery, Northamptonshire

    13th June 20184th August 2019

    I think this might be my third visit to Castle Ashby in the last year, so I think it’s safe to say it’s becoming one of our favourite locations to explore. It’s so rare to find an orangery that’s still used to house plants (most I’ve visited have been either been desolate for years, in

    Princess Of Wales Conservatory, Kew Gardens, London

    6th May 20184th August 2019

    My favourite of Kew Gardens’ glasshouses – The Princess of Wales Conservatory. I love the blue shades of the cactus house and those damp greens of the fernery. We were lucky enough to visit this year during their celebration of Thailand, and the glasshouse was woven with brightly coloured orchids. Find out more about The
