Notes from the drawing board and the site

What a garden actually costs, which month to start one, what survives a wet February, and what works in a courtyard the size of a rug.

Planting That Still Looks Good in February

Most planting plans are written for one good month. Here is how we make a border hold its shape for twelve.

Nine metres by six, three walls and four hours of sun. The constraints are real, and so are the things that reliably fix them.

Everyone wants the garden finished by June. Working backwards from that is how most projects get into trouble.

Design fees, build costs and the gap between the two — written out plainly, with the numbers we quote on a typical suburban garden.
