The last day of the ski season in Val d’Isere was a blissful, sun-kissed affair, with a couple of runs down the Vallonnets, a skim over the Combe du Signal, and an unmissable foray into Pays Desert once again. All under Chris’s masterful stewardship.  Continue reading “Vallonnets, 4 May 2014”

Low morning sun over the winter walk. Channelling my inner Rothko - even our prefab annex looked pretty fab in today’s crisp sunshine against the intense winter sky. Hyde Park this morning, as the mist is lifting and the sun just stroking the frozen landscape. Pause from raking the leaves in St John’s Lodge gardens to marvel at the small wonders of dried flower heads in the borders off the croquet lawn. The Winter Garden moving from autumn into its eponymous season. Cotoneaster berry thief, yesterday as the sun came out in the park. Scouting around central London for new gardens to take students to visit next year. Thanks to Alex for walking me around the charming gardens at @thecharterhousegardens (sorry to miss @katysmuddyboots), and to Helen at Mecklenburgh Square for the lovely tour of this 19th century oasis. Lights coming on at Kew. Autumn colours in Queen Mary’s Gardens From the grasslands of South Africa to American prairies, and from Edwardian gardens to the micro-forest of the future and climate-change planting. Fantastic morning being walked around the Horniman museum’s gardens by @errolreubenfernandes. Thank you for sharing your passion and for giving us so much of your time.
