greencube- busy as always, we have just advertised for a new employed position, a gardener, required to assist Gemma with our garden maintenance and nine gardens to plant up in the Autumn.

Please send CV's to info@greencubelandscapes.co.uk - requirements - passion for great gardens, hard working, lots of energy and a desire to be part of our team, with a smiley face! RHS level 2 qualification or newly qualified garden designer who would like some real experience.

Lots of projects are currently being constructed, we have teamed up with Langdale Landscapes on a project in Trottiscliffe, the pool has now been dug out and landscapers start work today. This garden includes a sunken garden within a much larger space. A new build house designed by Open architecture. We are using external porcelain, granite, hardwood decking, ragstone and large statement borders.

see 3d visuals - we use sketchup pro to produce these animated designs to assist in the design process as well as giving our clients a true understanding of the finished scheme.

We are also working in Sevenoaks on a project in Redlands Road with Langdale Landscapes

using quartz paddlestones and porcelain external tile

Meanwhile our project in North Norfolk at the Old Foundry is almost complete, a bit more planting, trees to be planted in Autumn and chamomile lawn to be laid. Planting needs to mature and knit together but we are very pleased with the end result.Our use of cor-ten steel on the ground plane as well as the troughs, firebowl are connecting this garden back to its history.

A big thank you to SJB Landscapes - superb first job with greencube, great work ethos and fantastic execution of our design. Thank you Sam.

Sculpture in the garden, greencube designs a sculptural ball garden

I'm still out taking photos of all the gardens that have been constructed in the last year and last night I visited our clients in Borough Green, Kent to photograph this garden. We designed the terracing around this very beautiful home and picked up on the existing buff coloured stone detailing that formed the sills and frames around the doors and windows. A complimentary colour of yellow granite was finally chosen (Yellow Granite paving from CED) and a sculptural border of yellow granite balls (from Rock Unique) underplanted with Ilex crenata balls and Libertia grandiflora. Oak benches and oak arches have also been included and some division of zones created by deck laid flush with granite. This scheme fuses well with the house and setting. I will return in August to take further photos when the garden furniture is in place and hopefully get some night shots, lighting not yet fully completed at time of visit. Greencube planted this garden in two phases, the trees, ro

But my favourite is most definitely the Telegraph Garden

Designed by Cleve West, a magical space with walls retaining at seat level, so wherever you walk you can pause, sit and enjoy, I managed to gain access to Cleve's garden and even had a brief chat with him. I loved it even more once in the space. The star plant at the show for me is most certainly Dianthus cruentus, with its crimson flowers which looked wonderful in amongst the cotswold stone, with its elegant stems and deep red flower. The statuesque columns, the wonderful dry stone walls and planting that had space, looked natural and certainly did not look like it was only planted a week ago!!!! The play with water with the water pipes and channel through the garden with stone stepping stones, all beautifully executed and inspirational.

greencube's garden in Langton Green, near Tunbridge Wells features in Dutch Magazine this month

Our large garden in Langton Green designed back in 2010 features in a Dutch magazine for April - Groei & Bloei , I had to use google translator to work out what they said: dutch "door efficient gebruik te maken van niveauverschillen ontstaan op een klein oppervlak twee terrassen, gescheiden door een prachtige plantenbak, die tevens dienst doet als regleuning van de zitbank." literally translates to: "through efficient use of level differences arising on a small surface two terraces, separated by a beautiful planter, who also serves as backrest of the sofa." my dutch is not too good! Here are some more photos of this garden:
