Looking at gardens we often perceive certain plants as out of place and out of time, plants that weren’t purposely planted, yet somehow, they found a way to self-seed and grow. Commonly we call these plants “weeds”.

Today we want to draw attention to one particular plant - Hyacinthus orientalis, a well known spring flowering bulb.

In Greek mythology Hyacinth is a symbol of rebirth and the renewed plant growth in spring.

We design for all seasons and encourage our clients to be brave and accept this more soft and gentle approach to gardening. It may not be easy to accept untidy, messy, spent and decaying garden, but let’s try, be more attentive, curious and look for that hidden, subtle, quiet beauty in imperfection.
