greencube garden and landscape design, UK

It's been another very busy week at greencube. I attended the SGD (society of garden designers) Spring Conference on Saturday, rubbing shoulders with my peers and fellow industry colleagues, a great day that focused on the use of ornamental grasses with presentations from growers, designers and plant hunters.  On sunday I completed a 14 mile walk to raise funds for Marsden Hospital - Cancer Charity - the Marsden March. Thank you if you sponsored me, in memory of gorgeous Alex. If you haven't please follow the link, it's not too late. https://www.justgiving.com/remember/151634/Alex-Sales I then foolishly booked planting a courtyard garden on the Monday in Reigate,  ideally I should have booked a day in the office to rest my achy legs.

 in Faversham, Sevenoaks, Leigh, Speldhurst, Brentwood, Erith, Petham and Reigate We are just about to tender for a lovely garden in Faversham. A mix of slate with stone resin frame and decking with duck egg accent colours added, a vegetable plot and 3 zones to chill out and enjoy the sunshine. 3d modelling exports: We have just tendered for a garden in Reigate that we designed late last year. A garden that has had a very large extension with open plan kitchen/family room and large windows facing the rear garden. The new terrace will have porcelain tiles running from kitchen out to the garden terrace and will be retained by a wonderful textural sandstone wall. The continuous porcelain floor from the kitchen to the terrace will create a smooth transition and when the glass doors are rolled back it will be hard to define indoors from out. Work has just started on a garden in Sevenoaks with pond and ragstone wall being built by Creative Landscapes and project m...
