      <image:title>Blog - From Blitz to Bloom</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Utopian Plan As early as 1955, the architects’ feasibility study proposed forest trees as essential for ‘mental recreation’. The original 1956 proposal already featured a conservatory and ‘ornamental water’, proving the urban jungle was intended from the start rather than a later addition to hide the grey. The result is a Grade II* listed masterpiece. It uses a ‘Secret Garden’ effect where rigid geometry is offset by the round forms of waterfalls and lakes. Even the material choice was deliberate. The iconic pitted concrete was a ‘Plan B’ when white marble proved too expensive. We ended up with grey Penlee Granite aggregate, hand-worked with a bush hammer. It needs the greenery to breathe.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Common Pests - Red lily beetles</image:title>
      <image:caption>Damage on lily leaves, similar to that caused by Vine Weevils but perhaps more irregular and longer in shape, could be Red Lily Beetle. Both the larvae and adults eat the leaves and can cause severe defoliation. These pests should be removed and “disposed of” if spotted. Red Lily Beetles can be spotted on leaves during the day. See RHS page on lily beetles for more info.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Common Pests - Caterpillars</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many plants are subject to leaf damage from caterpillars. Regal Pelargoniums (our “Geraniums”) and many other plants are often attacked by the small green caterpillar of the Tortix moth. The most obvious damage symptoms are holes in the leaves and the rolling and webbing of the leaves which allows the pale green caterpillars to feed out of sight by grazing the leaf surface; damage is not often noticed until the moths have emerged. If you see two leaves apparently stuck together, or a rolled up leaf, then squash the area between your fingers to kill any caterpillar hiding within. If you prise open the leaves to see if anyone is at home, the resident caterpillar will quickly wriggle away and drop onto the soil. Check out the RHS guides on caterpillars.</image:caption>
