Breathing life and fresh air into the city for the last 4 years - This month we celebrate the birthday of The Rubens at the Palace living wall, installed in 2013! 350 sqm of vegetation which continues to grow not only in character but the benefits for the local environment too.

Three herbs to plant now that will add fragrance and help transition your from summer to autumn with renewed flair and purpose!

Living walls make a fantastic insulating layer, if installed against a buildings facade the heat from within is somewhat absorbed by the soil, meaning a cooler space on hot days and keeping things cosy during winter months.

Depending on location it may also mean a space to plant during cold weather which avoids frozen soil and extremes of temperature- meaning continued plant growth all season through!

1. Rosemary - Great for evening aromas in late summer and even better when paired with roast vegetables as the days turn colder!

2. Sage - if your living wall is graced with low winter sun, there's no doubt this herb should be on your radar. Use it fresh or dry it out and store it to add flavour to dishes throughout the season.

3. Thyme - Be swept away to rural France with these late summer aromas. Although growth will likely slow throughout winter you may be able to keep harvesting if you can limit yourself to small amounts. - granted it's easier said than done especially when teamed with fellow accomplice rosemary!

A big thanks to everyone who spent some time lounging, relaxing and enjoying a break under our living spheres at this years RHS Urban Garden Show.

A special thanks to Cityscapes for co-creating such an inspiring event - from adding a splash of green to a workspace to cocktails and floral crowns. There wasn't an element of creativity that didn't get the green treatment. It's great to see innovative projects helping individuals add nature to the home in a fun, easy way!

RHS Chatsworth is well underway and despite harsh weather conditions, it's going to take more than rain to wash out the abundance of colour, vibrancy, excitement, and surprises that await visitors arriving to one of Capability Brown's landscapes.

We've spent the last couple of weeks working alongside Cityscapes, arranging plants, plotting out designs and testing technology to create something spectacular inside the floral marquee.

The living structure hangs as a centre-piece to the show, a canvas of moss and ferns create a tropical atmosphere (an ode to Joseph Paxton) while mist irrigation maintains humidity and perfect conditions for the tropical plants to grow. In the centre of this hangs a giant 'disco-ball' - 2m in diameter it will reflect grow-lights around the dome!

If you're heading to this weekend take a break from the rain and come check it out!

If your daily wanderings weave you through the numerous construction sites continually popping up around the city you may have noticed some are cloaked in greenery.

Our living hoarding and ivy screens are becoming more and more popular as efficient and environmentally friendly methods of disguising building sites.

Not only do they look more appealing they also help reduce pollution, minimise noise & provide secure barriers, for designs that grow with nature!
