Herne Hill based garden designer, Alexandra Hollingsworth, has created a ?Suburban Sanctuary? garden at BBC Gardeners? World Live, an event which attracts over 100,000 visitors to the NEC in Birmingham and finishes this Sunday. Alex?s garden will also be featured on Gardeners? World on BBC2 this evening, after which it will be available on iPlayer.


For many of us in Dulwich and Herne Hill, walking in our front door means descending into the subterranean world of the lower ground floor flat. Yet so many of these basement light-wells are sadly neglected. On the theme of ?Greening Grey Britain?, Alex?s show garden reimagines these small, dark and awkward spaces as a light-filled haven, reconnecting the owner with nature and providing a mindful, sensory and restorative retreat from the stress of city life.


Alex hopes this garden will inspire those of us living in urban areas with small outdoor spaces to see their potential, by providing practical ideas to bring light, joy and colour to seemingly unpromising outdoor spaces. Everything possible will be re-used and re-purposed after the show, ensuring nothing goes to waste.


This is the second show garden Alex has created, following silver medal success at Bloom in the Park in Dublin in 2016. Alex works all over south London and is available at [email protected].

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By malumbu · Posted

      If you read my post I expect a compromise with the raising of the cap on agricultural property so that far less 'ordinary' farmers do not get caught  Clarkson is simply a high profile land owner who is not in the business as a conventional farmer.  Here's a nice article that seems to explain things well  https://www.sustainweb.org/blogs/nov24-farming-budget-inheritance-tax-apr/ It's too early to speculate on 2029.  I expect that most of us who were pleased that Labour got in were not expecting anything radical. Whilst floating the idea of hitting those looking to minimise inheritance tax, including gifting, like fuel duty they also chickened put. I'm surprised that anyone could start touting for the Tories after 14 years of financial mismanagement and general incompetence. Surly not.  A very low bar for Labour but they must be well aware that there doesn't need to be much of a swing form Reform to overturn Labour's artificially large majority.  But even with a generally rabid right wing press, now was the opportunity to be much braver.

      And I worry this Labour government with all of it's own goals and the tax increases is playing into Farage's hands. With Trump winning in the US, his BFF Farage is likely to benefit from strained relations between the US administration and the UK one. As Alastair Campbell said on a recent episode of The Rest is Politics who would not have wanted to be a fly on the wall of the first call between Angela Rayner and JD Vance....those two really are oil and water. Scary, scary times right now and there seems to be a lack of leadership and political nous within the government at a time when we really need it - there aren't many in the cabinet who you think will play well on the global stage.

      Do others hear the lady singing, in her home at the top end of Copleston Road?

      Funerals, for example.

      I look to the future and clearly see that the law of unintended consequences will apply with a vengeance and come 2029 Labour will voted out of office. As someone once said 'The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money'.
