The Manor House in Exton has evolved over many years with borders full of beautiful flowers blending naturally with the surrounding trees and borrowed views of the old village church beyond. Tina and Charles have gradually transformed the garden over the years, allowing plants to move and selfseed while still keeping enough structure to hold everything together. Tina also collaborated with garden designers Richard Taylor and Nicholas Tripp of @taylortrippgardendesign on several areas helping to shape the garden into what it is today. Absolutely thrilled to have this garden also featured in the August issue of The English Garden, with words by Gillian Taylor. Thank you to Tina and Charles for welcoming me into their beautiful garden, to Richard and Nicholas at @taylortrippgardendesign for helping make the shoot possible, and to @theenglishgardenmagazine for featuring it. The garden also opens for the National Garden Scheme. Check the NGS website for future opening dates. @manor_house_garden @taylortrippgardendesign @hampshirengs #englishgarden #summergardens #anemones #theenglishgardenmagazine #gardeninspiration

Imagine having a river running through your garden. 
At Mill House in Surrey, water has shaped the landscape for centuries. The site was first recorded as a working mill in 1217 and today the old mill race still runs through the heart of the garden. Designed by @taylortrippgardendesign the garden is more formal around the house with generous borders and clipped yew, while across the water the planting becomes softer and blends into the surrounding landscape. The restored riverbanks, meadow and looser planting give the garden a wonderfully calm, timeless atmosphere and create a rich habitat for wildlife. I’m thrilled to see this beautiful garden featured in the August 2026 issue of The English Garden, and especially delighted to have one of my images on the front cover. The August issue is available in print for just a few more days so if you get a chance do pick up a copy and read the full story – it will also be available online for longer. A special thank you to Clare Foggett for the beautiful words, and to the whole editorial team at @theenglishgardenmagazine for such a lovely feature and for choosing one of my images for the front cover. Huge thanks to Taylor Tripp for creating such a beautiful garden, to the owners for welcoming me and allowing me to photograph it, and to the gardener for making sure everything looked its best for the shoot. And there’s another garden in this issue that was also very special to photograph – more on that one soon.

By midsummer, the garden settles into a softer mood, and the borders become richer in texture, colour and detail. Airy drifts of Oenothera lindheimeri weave through the borders, while Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Album’ and tall verbena catch the evening light with an almost ethereal quality. Soft pink Potentilla nepalensis ‘Miss Willmott’ and rich purple lavender ‘Hidcote’ create a timeless combination. Designed by @taylortrippgardendesign the garden sits in a timeless Cotswold setting and feels deeply connected to its surroundings, reconnecting the Old Rectory with the neighbouring church. Delighted to see this beautiful garden featured in the July issue of The English Garden magazine illustrated with my photographs. A huge thank you to Clare Foggett and the editorial team at @theenglishgardenmagazine for publishing it and to @hull_urban_gardener for the beautifully written feature. As ever, I’m very grateful to the design team at @taylortrippgardendesign and to the owners for allowing the photo shoot. Read the full story in the July issue, out now.

In urban gardens every detail counts. I love when plants fill the gaps, soften the edges and bring layers of texture into even the smallest spaces. Here I’m sharing a few photos from a small urban garden in Wimbledon, photographed in June. Stunning garden design by Tom Howard @tomhowardgardens

This space stopped me for a moment. I love the architectural planting and this Arbutus is definitely heading to the top of my favourite plants list. Also the deep green colour of Hakonechloa macra ‘Nicolas’ looks gorgeous in summer. I often see the lime colour varieties in gardens but this deep green is really striking. And what a seat!

A garden paradise in Hampshire “The dining terrace and curved borders follow the contours of the old carriageway that was once used to reach the house,” and now sit beautifully within the wider garden designed by @taylortrippgardendesign A little further on, the productive area has its own charm: a mix of edibles, cut flowers and soft seasonal colour, with dahlias, cosmos, sweet peas woven through the beds. And perhaps the most unexpected feature is the lake “created from scratch on what was once an arable field” yet now it feels as though it has always belonged to the landscape. I’m absolutely delighted to see this garden featured in the June issue of The English Garden magazine. Huge thanks to the wonderful designers at @taylortrippgardendesign for their trust and all their help coordinating the shoot, and to the owners for their flexibility and generosity in allowing me to capture the garden. As always I’m grateful to Clare Foggett for featuring my work in The English Garden magazine, to @gardenwithmartyn for bringing the story to life and also to @a.s.gardens for making the garden look so pristine.

The Lady Garden Foundation ‘Silent No More’ Garden has really drawn me in at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show. Designed by @darrenhawkeslandscapes and built by @lalandscapes . I loved its Mediterranean feel and the abstract forms that created not only a beautiful backdrop but also guided the eye through the space. A beautifully considered and sculptural garden. Huge congratulations to Darren Hawkes and all involved on the Gold medal and Best Construction Award. #chelseaflowershow #chelseaflowershow2026 #rhschelseaflowershow #joannakossak #gardenphotographer
