I absolutely LOVE your courtyard garden Elliott! The lotus pots in particular are so so pretty and I love the grey and white theme you've created with the galvanized metal containers and white flowering plants. You have fantastic taste! I enjoyed reading about how gardening has helped your mental health. I too find gardening to be very therapeutic in so many ways.

Thank you! That’s very kind ☺️ Such lovely compliments! 💚 Yes, pretty safe to assume I would not be here without gardening… a sobering thought! 🫶

It’s nice to read the detail that we don’t normally see on Instagram.

Thanks for the great article. I love the photos and especially appreciate the ideas of where to source the pots. I've been looking for these for a long time.

You’re very welcome. Glad it helped. Thank you! I’m always hunting around antique dealers and salvage yards for buckets!

So stunning thank you. I’m surprised the hydrangea thrives in that hot area. In Texas we struggle to move beyond the oak leaf.

Thank you so much! Much appreciated. It has some shade in the morning but yes it’s pretty hot. I’ll water them twice a week when it’s really hot - for UK.
