Plants and Design are just the beginning

IMG_0023.jpeg

Hi, my name is Mark Rice and even from an early age my fascination with plants and the garden has been forever evolving. Although when it comes to design ( especially on TV ) its often a portrayal of the finished product, and the statement it gives, we often overlook the importance of the colour and planting within. We all admire colour in the garden, big estates, other peoples gardens even our neighbours who seem to never do anything wrong.

But with careful planning and selection we can all enjoy the beauty and life that plants give us, its just making sure you have the right plant for your soil, the right position to keep it healthy and most of all the understandng of how you can keep it looking good all year round.

Why are plants important ?

  1. They regulate the air we breathe 2. Provide the food we eat 3. The clothes we wear 4. Ingredients for medicines, perfume 5. Timber and fuel

    We often see the beauty but fail to see the reason.
