Some wonderful organic box hedges with a hidden gate in the garden I'm working in today. Not my work but would love to take it on if the owners agree! 💚 #cloudhedges #buxus #hiddengate #topiary #organic ift.tt/2OHhz8e

Can't wait to get back to this garden in spring. It's a magical place with 13th century ruins in the garden. #englishheritage #englishgarden #historic #wisteriahysteria #gardenarchitecture #gardenarch ift.tt/2Qg7fUC
