Using garden designers in Perth and Kinross can greatly enhance the outdoor spaces of homes and public areas, offering numerous benefits to residents and communities alike.

Firstly, garden designers possess the expertise to transform ordinary spaces into stunning, functional landscapes. Their knowledge of native plants, soil types and climate conditions ensures that gardens thrive in the local environment, requiring less maintenance and resources over time.

Moreover, professional garden designers consider the unique preferences and lifestyle of each client, crafting bespoke designs that reflect individual tastes and needs. Whether it's creating a tranquil retreat or a vibrant entertainment area, their creative vision can turn dreams into reality.

By incorporating sustainable practices and eco-friendly elements, garden designers contribute to environmental conservation efforts. They utilise techniques such as rainwater harvesting, native plantings and natural pest control to promote biodiversity and reduce the ecological footprint of landscapes.

Additionally, well-designed gardens can increase property values and curb appeal. Whether it's a residential backyard or a commercial property, an aesthetically pleasing garden enhances the overall appeal of the space, making it more inviting and desirable.

Furthermore, gardens designed by professionals often require less maintenance and ongoing care, saving time and effort for homeowners and businesses. Thoughtful planning and strategic placement of features minimise the need for constant upkeep, allowing people to enjoy their outdoor spaces without the hassle of constant maintenance.

Overall, utilising garden designers in Perth and Kinross not only beautifies landscapes but also improves quality of life, fosters environmental stewardship and adds value to properties. Investing in professional design services can truly elevate outdoor spaces to new heights of beauty and functionality.

I desperately need more botany/gardening/solarpunk/foraging posts that aren’t so fucking American-centric

“European plants are invasive” okay, in America— but which ones are invasive HERE, like are Spanish species invasive to England? Are French plants invasive to England??

I really grew to love canon Scotland because he does actually looks like his name is Scott.

It’s been so nice to potter around in the garden again and enjoy the warmth of the sun. With the lighter evenings, we’re able to work late and things are moving fast.

Our plants : leeks, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, green beans, broad beans, courgette, asparagus and pumpkins are all doing really well in the Polycrub … and the raised beds have been a godsend for my back. 🙏

We still have 3 or 4 more boxes to make for the Polycrub, and then we’ll move onto making boxes for the garden. Raised bed gardening is definitely my go to … 👍 🌱

Anyway, hope you’re having a good weekend too … 😊👋

“Then cross the brooding moors into Scotland. Here, you can view the mighty Clydesdale at play. And embark on a live-stream train ride through the heather-strewn countryside.”

Heatherdowns, or “Heather”

5’6”

Heather is a farmgirl. And a reclusive one at that. She doesn’t really interact with any of the other girls. Her introverted tendencies cause this. While Heather may be a grumpy girl, she is a woman a strong character, and she does care for the other girls, even if they annoy her. Especially that brash drunkard Christie.

Hey guys. I’ll be taking a break to work on another project of mine, but I’ll continue this account as soon as I’m done. Next will the Killarney from the wee Emerald Isle. Ask Heather any questions in the meantime.

Shonda Rimes: EP

Besty Beers: EP

Julie Ann Robinson: EP

Chris Van Dusen: Creator and EP emeritus

Jess Bronwell: Showrunner

Kris Bowers: Composer

Tom Verica: Director

Jaffar Mahmood: Director (rumored)

Possible flashbacks of Sophie’s childhood: There are two actors who follow each other on IG that could be playing the Penwood (Arthur Lee) and young Sophie (Chloe Park: please do not repost her social media). Rumored young Sophie also follows Shondaland and Bridgerton IGs.   

Sophie "Baek" background. Sophie has a Korean last name but we don't know if that's from her mother or something her dad made up. His last name was Gun (as far as I understand, also a Korean last name), but her stepsisters' last name is Chinese (Li).

Masquerade: Most likely in E1 because it's the season's first ball. It's the place where “attendees are encouraged to transform into whomever they choose”.

It seems that Benedict arrives late to the masquerade ball.

Benophie dance lesson is switched from the terrace to inside a gazebo. One of Sophie's gloves is *involved*. We still don't know how but probably as in the book (i.e. Cinderella's shoe). Sophie's dress is regency style. Benedict's costume is all black or dark brown.

Lake scene. Since both Yerin and Luke have already talked about this I think it's safe to say it will be the big talking point in the season's promo with the Masquerade.

There will be a Xiangqi game, a popular Chinese board game.

Benedict's bachelor place: Confirmed thanks to the designer's mood boards on Pinterest).

Kilmartin Estate in Scotland will also be featured (also from the designer's mood boards in Pinterest).

Both Li sisters will debut at the same time.

Rosamund is vain and Araminta's favorite. She tries to win Benedict, who is "the ton’s most eligible (if totally reluctant) bachelor".

Posy is kinder, chatty, overly friendly and socially embarrassing. According to Wei, Posy goes “on a nice journey” throughout the season. 

Leung: Araminta is fabulous, discerning, blunt and does "not respond well when anything -or anyone- threatens her standing in society". She is a "mother-slash-villain" and would “never call her evil because I adore her – I think she’s absolutely fabulous. She’s just heavily misunderstood”. She is also "feeling the pressure to get at least one of her girls married of" and “chemes to marry off one… to Benedict Bridgerton”.

Leung said Araminta’s costumes “are something else”.

Eloise, Francesca and John return to London, specifically to Bridgerton house.

According to Andoh, there is a garden party in E1 or E2. Not sure if Danbury is hosting that party.

The Demimonde is back. We have seen the Demimonde in Granville's parties in S1.

The story most likely begins in spring (social season's time) but there will be a time jump to autumn. There are leaked photos of the Bridgerton house with changing seasons. In an interview, Brownell mentioned how this will “open the Bridgerton world: this could mean the autumn, the countryside or the working class with a main character (or all three at the same time).”

Benedict will begin the season "aimless" and "loveless". Despite "his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, [he] is loathe to settle down"

Benedict’s fluidity will be explored.

Sophie doesn't know how to dance.

Ha: Sophie "craves and yearns for love despite all of her trauma and neglect". She is "a victim of tragic circumstances" and "has trouble trusting others". She has "been forced to work as a maid for one of the most demanding employers in the ton… [but] her resourcefulness helps her persevere".

Thompson: Benedict is "a man of many interests, and that’s great in some ways, and in some ways, though, can betray a sense of being lost or a little bit restless. And that goes quite deep… There is clearly something in him that’s not very comfortable, a bit scared or a bit worried about the idea of really committing to something. And that’s partly the struggle".

Sophie's decision to disguise herself in order to attend the masquerade will be "risky". This probably means they are following the part of the book where Araminta throws her out into the street after the ball.

We'll see a "shift" in Benedict when he meets a "mysterious lady in silver". He will "find himself on the hunt for Sophie".

Sophie is not "like the debutantes that usually populate Bridgerton". There is a "sincerity of her face".

Love at first sight trope confirmed: Sophie's decision also means that "both lives [hers and Benedicts] are forever changed" after the ball. Ha described it as "prismatic… when the light comes in and then it goes into a rainbow".

Ha: The season will be an "emotional tug of war, this kind of push and pull between what their hearts desire and what society desires for them".

Thompson: Also a "struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale -the romance of it- and the actual reality of the world… both are true. You have to hold both of them -the romance and the reality- in your hand. In its best version, 'true love' happens in the middle of that".

Sophie will struggle with her own mask because of the "battle of social status" or when she is "trying to hide her feelings from Benedict".

Upper and lower class trope: Confirmed. Ha: "It is the first time we really see the upper and lower class come together this season… My character is someone who constantly has her guard up. She… is always reminded of her place and doesn’t dream of more than her station as a maid. However, she is human after all, and craves that human-to-human love and connection. And it’s not until she meets Benedict that she slowly lets her guard down, bit by bit, and starts to create space to let love flow in for her."

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Brooch

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee brooch was made by award-winning British fine jewellery designer, David Marshall, and his team at their workshop in London’s iconic jewellery quarter, Hatton Garden. The piece, which represents the four nations, was commissioned by the Goldsmiths’ Company as a gift to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.  

The brooch – made of 18 carat white gold; platinum; 97 round brilliant cut diamonds (2.50 carat); and 7 fancy cut diamonds (0.40 carat) – was inspired by the four nations of the United Kingdom, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, represented by four diamond set swirls and the national flowers: the rose, the thistle, the daffodil and the shamrock. Seven diamond set bands represent the seven decades of the Queen’s reign. Buckingham Palace proposed the addition of the lily of the valley given the significance of the flower in The Queen’s Coronation bouquet.
