We were so excited when we discovered this robin's nest in one of our living walls when we made a routine maintenance visit. Of course, living walls attract birds for many reasons, but seeing a nest inside it made our day. We'd like to share the reasons why birds love...
Each month over the last few years, we've shared a great piece of garden-related art. All through 2022 we're looking at Blossfeldt plant photos. For March, we're sharing his image of a cephalaria (giant scabious) seed head. If you've been reading our blog regularly, you'll already know something about Blossfeldt. ...
Last December, we did a really interesting installation in Borehamwood. We had designed a living wall for the newly built headquarters of Griggs Homes, a long-established local house-building firm. We posted about the job in January, so you can see installation photos and read more about the original job. Just...
You may well be aware of the growing trend for interior design with living walls. This is something that we're delighted by, of course. And it's not just because it's good business for us, as a trusted designer and installer of green walls. It's also because we know the benefits...

Most of Rosewood's work involves designing and installing new vertical gardens. However, we can also replace a living wall for you, should it be necessary. There can be many reasons why an existing plant wall might need updating, or even replacing altogether. Not a Rosewood living wall, of course! A...
Rosewood has been sharing beautiful art for garden lovers ever since we started our blog and social media posting. In 2021, we shared a modern flower painting each month. For 2022, we plan to bring you images by the German sculptor and photographer Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932). The artist is most...
Today we want to share a great job we did in December. This was designing and installing a large living wall to go inside the new headquarters of Griggs Homes. Griggs, the long-established house builders, have a new head office in Borehamwood, and asked us to design a green wall...
