I’m really pleased that The Little Book of Little Gardens is now available in stores and online.

It was a collaboration between myself and some really talented people.

Heidi Helyard from Blue Wood Studios laid out the book and worked up all of the designs for the text.

Kate McAuley wrote the lovely foreword and took some of the photos.

Stephanie Wolff took many of the pictures, including the cover photo.

Bjorn and the team at Dokument who published the book.

We had a great little launch party last week which I’ll post about shortly. More information on where to pick up the book on the site: www.thelittlebookoflittlegardens.com

I was asked by Koppaberg to run a short pothole gardening walk around East London last week as part of their unestablishment series of events.

So last Monday, I set off with some keen gardeners to create some miniature magic…

Andrew came prepared with his own miniature Carp…

Louie got creative with a mini ladder and chalkboard…

The team getting into it on Redchurch Street…

Lights. Camera. Action.

 

Gnome-mans-land!

Thanks to Koppaberg for the opportunity to take these guys gardening! Also thanks to Love The Garden for the grow your own supplies.

If you’re feeling inspired, why not get involved in the Chelsea Fringe? Registrations are now open for 2013 here.

I’ve a very exciting announcement to make next week, so stay tuned!

The Gardens Illustrated team invited me up to Bristol the other week to re-create their October cover, in miniature. Here are the results! Thanks to Jason Ingram for the great pictures.

 

 

They included a wonderful writeup in this month’s edition of the magazine about my book. Thanks so much to Anne Gatti and the team.

Check out this lovely little pothole garden from Australia that was sent to me from Melita and her friends from the Lemonade Learning blog.

Columbia Road Flower Market meets Cologne!

I’ve blogged before about how much I love Columbia Road Flower Market. Nothing beats a Sunday stroll down the buzzing street with a coffee in hand. I spied a pothole at the end of the road during my last visit, and I created this little garden which has managed to stay there for some time now – let me know if you’ve seen it!

 

I was sent this wonderful project recently, by Marén Wirths. It was created for the Transition Town Initiative Cologne a few months ago. It’s called “tiny places of happiness” – lovely! They have a facebook group here.

Keep the pothole gardens coming in, I’ve got a few more preview copies of my book to give away!

More of your pothole gardens…

It really feels like winter is almost upon us here in London as the days get shorter and shorter…My little “night garden” that I created in Whitechapel for my film holes of happiness, complete with some outdoor lighting to show off the garden, really feels to me like a cosy little spot to spend a chilly evening in front of the box.

 

But while the nights get longer in London, there’s no shortage of daylight in Australia. I was sent these wonderful photos of Cheryl and Kody’s recent pothole gardening adventure in Western Australia! – it looks like they had loads of fun!

 

 

Henrik Dahle from www.uptrees.net recently also sent me this one from Australia. It’s so sweet!

 

 

Please continue emailing in your pothole gardening pictures! I’ve got a couple of my books to giveaway :)
