Decorative spoils from our olive harvest 🕊
Pool with a view - Snapshot from our Bali site visit the other week.
Bali walls - One of the first landscape elements to be constructed and largely designed to prevent erosion on our steep site. The joints will populate with ferns and moss meaning these will soon blend into the surrounding green banks.
Thursday throwback to this Dorset estate garden I was fortunate to work on when Associate with @tomstuartsmith Set within its own valley on the Jurassic Coast, it is one the more breath taking locations to visit let alone design a garden. Full credit to the amazing clients and gardening team. Wonderful photos by @andreajonesgardenphotography for an article by Tom in @houseandgardenuk last year. . . . . . #encombe #encombeestate #dorset #jurrasiccoast #garden #tomstuartsmith #gardendesign #landscapedesign #tbt #andreajonesphotography #houseandgarden #magazine #historiclandscape #england
Another west coast sunset 👌
Ficus lyrata, a familiar but long term favourite and holding its own under this alfresco canopy.
Some drawings of the proposed garden on the lower slopes of our project near Ubud, Bali. Working in collaboration on the landscape with good friend @andyhamiltonstudio Set on steep jungle hillside leading down to a river, the slopes are negotiated with a series of banks, steps, lawn paths and terraces. Water plays an important role and its journey through the landscape is controlled via an overlaid network of channels, cascades and tanks. The planting will be a combination of productive and ornamental with a canopy of fruit trees and coconuts above. The upper site (not shown here) is based around a series of buildings by @site.practice and includes number of courtyards and pools, carefully interwoven with the architecture.
Electric sunset tonight
Inspiration from nature’s garden and a favourite tree - Melaleuca lanceolata
Field trip to Wadjemup (aka Rottnest Island). So much beauty around this ancient landscape of Melaleuca and Callistris woods, heathlands, salt lakes, limestone, beaches and curious animals.

The dreamy (and virile) Austrostipa elegantissima. . . . #austrostipaelegantissima #australiannativeplants #austrostia #grasses #westernaustralia
Proposal sketch for the front garden of our Wembley, WA project. With exceptions of a deciduous Delonix regia and existing Jacaranda tree, we’re using Australian native plants - the majority of which endemic to the south west WA (one of the world’s biological hotspots). . . . . . #jemhanburystudio #southwestwa #perth #gardendesign #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #australiannativeplants #handdrawn #pencil
