A little snapshot of a client’s garden I have designed and managed for over ten years’ has been aired on BBC Gardener’s World. Filmed back in early August 2025, the production team have managed to distill beautifully the garden’s ethos.

Our garden spaces are not just about us. How we choose to manage and design them can have a detrimental impact on a range of ecosystems and creatures that we depend on for pollination, food production, pest control, soil health etc. This episode focuses on our night pollinators and how we need to be more mindful of the types of light we put in our gardens.
