We had the absolute privilege of having @_nattenborough paint us the most beautiful mural in our garden this week. Our garden backs on to a little woods - the woods are my favourite place, so the brief was native woodland plants and Nat absolutely smashed it.

She even popped some little blackberries in there for my monkey gone by, who couldn’t resist a chomp on our walks 😭

I adore it, and I adore Nat.
Have at her for your murals guys!
I never want to go inside again.

I love bugs. You love bugs. You don’t always want bugs on your skin, I get it. Maybe sometimes you even make me remove bugs from your drawings because you asked for a daisy and I hid a slug on its leaf. It’s fine, we’re all friends here.

So here’s some botanical pieces that our native pollinators absolutely love to rub themselves on - so you can show them that you’re friends without getting their portrait tattooed on your arm.

A godforsaken flippin Heron for actual angel on earth Katie.*

One of my absolute favourite birds, if you’ve been in to the studio you will have seen one I painted on the wall so I could look at it from my chair. I have one that graces my garden, and they also penetrate my dreams. I loved making this.

*Not sure why all that religious imagery ended up in my first sentence , and I will unpack it later.

Allium for Ludo. 🧄
Needless to say, I loved making this - it is a plant, it has roots and it is on an excellent person!

I am lucky to have an insane amount of wild garlic in my garden, mother comes through for me real good in that regard. Pestos galore, which I’m aware is real basic bitch but what else is wild garlic for? Please.
