The morning light showing us how important the shape of a tree can be. Selecting trees on shape and silhouette and the placement of trees is the same as design and choosing the right materials in architecture.

A photo of a recently finished project, taken by the client. I was very pleased to hear the client say he is perpetually impressed by the details and the way the garden connects to the landscape.

An object created by nature. I was intrigued by the patterns in the dry, cracked clay soil, and decided to pour concrete into some of the cracks. When it was dry, I dug it up and gave it a spot on my land. It becomes even more interesting as time goes on and nature has its way with it.

Tulips are very versatile, and because they are a flower with quite the presence, using them in an understated minimal way often yields the dreamiest result. This is Tulipa couleur cardinal paired with Forget-me-not.

On holiday in Fuerteventura I came across this man. For the last 25 years he has spent his holidays on this stunning volcanic island. It is a sensational place if only for its unique flora.

I carved this face into the bark of a willow a few year ago, it's fascinating to see the way the tree heals and grows and the way the carving changes with it.

This slow but intense sculptural spectacle of dead wood and living wood exerting their forces on each other in all weathers, softening and hardening together, shrinking and expanding until they finally become one. It is what I hoped for when I planted this willow into the decking six years ago and I am so thrilled by this result!

Salix sachalinensis 'Sekka' this winter without fasciation unfortunately. Fasciation often occurs on mature specimens, and it can be encouraged by occasional radical pruning.

A peek into our office: the little squares of coloured glass were inspired by a sublime experience I once had in a church. On sunny days, the sun reflects off the water outside my office and once a day, rises high enough to reach the glass squares and the light projects through into the hallway. The disturbance of the surface of the water creates unique and intricate patterns of light. It is quite a spectacle every time.

Happy holidays!
