garden Create your own Regency style
You don’t need to be a connoisseur of period dramas to appreciate the elegant and luxurious gardens featured in Bridgerton.
Showcasing the Regencycore aesthetic, almost every scene highlights grand country estates with ornamental topiaries, striking borders, extravagant water features, and stunning floral displays.
Bridgerton’s garden scenes are filmed in its third season at historic locations like Hatfield House, Painshill Park, and Windsor great park. For the 2024 Chelsea Flower Show, Netflix will unveil the Bridgerton garden, designed by holly Johnston, capturing penelope Featherington’s journey. this garden will boast a moon gate, water feature, sunken seating area, and whimsical planting to create a natural, informal atmosphere.
When people think of Bridgerton, the romantic ambience created by its picturesque settings often comes to mind. the climbing wisterias, grand fountains, impeccably manicured shrubs, and opulent rose displays typical of Regency-style gardens set the stage for high society events such as promenades, balls, and garden parties.
Recreating these exquisite landscapes on a smaller scale might seem daunting, but we’re here to help. lady Whistledown and the ton would undoubtedly be impressed!
here’s how to bring the Bridgerton garden trends to your outdoor space this spring and summer, embracing both romance and elegance.
ClimBing Plants
the curb appeal of the Bridgerton family house, adorned with climbing
wisteria, is unmatched. Following the first season in December 2020, primrose reported a 400% increase in searches for ‘amethyst wisteria.’
alternatively, consider roses or clematis montana to enhance various structures. grow these plants on a pergola, trellis, wall, or fence to add drama and height to your garden, evoking the romance and elegance of the series. train these climbers by gently tying them to supports with plant ties and regularly pruning to encourage upward growth.
Colourful Planting
Whites, pinks, purples, and blues capture the Regency era, but with penelope in the spotlight for season three, bold citrus shades seen in the Featherington household are more appropriate. Reds, oranges, and pinks will be popular this spring,
reflecting Penelope’s growth and budding romance.
Choose summer-flowering bulbs like dahlias, begonias, lilies, and gladioli to achieve this vibrant palette.
Cottage garden plants are also ideal for the Regency look, with hardy annuals like nigella, Centaurea, and calendula adding bursts of colour when grouped. Roses add a romantic touch, helping your garden mirror the beautiful spaces seen in the show.
PLEASING PErGoLAS
Imagine enjoying high tea under a pergola after a leisurely walk through the gardens. While follies are common in Bridgerton’s garden sets, a pergola offers similar extravagance. Adorned with climbing plants, it adds grandeur and provides a perfect spot for a summer soirée.
If space is limited, create height by grouping potted plants of various sizes and colours on a raised display.
SocIALISING ArEA
Country-style furniture fits perfectly with the Regencycore theme of a Bridgerton-inspired garden. Opt for refined pieces with ornate details and elegant curves for a regal charm. Seating is essential, so include table sets for alfresco dining and garden sofas for relaxation. Intricate metal garden furniture exudes effortless elegance.
crEATIVE SHrUBBErY
The ornamental topiary gardens in Bridgerton are spectacular, with shapely sculptures being a key feature of Regency-style gardens. Topiary, the art of trimming trees and
shrubs into specific shapes, adds grandeur but requires practice to perfect.
Cones and balls are the easiest shapes to create and maintain. For minimal upkeep, use potted topiary plants in clear geometric shapes to section off garden zones. Alternatively, give your shrubs a neat trim for clean lines.
SEcLUdEd SEATING ArEA
A garden room can serve as a luxurious focal point for your outdoor space, perfect for stylish soirées. If space is limited, a small gazebo in a garden corner can create a perfect sanctuary and offer year-round appeal.
A budget-friendly option is to carve out a seating area. A garden corner and an arbour can create a secluded space, which you can enhance with climbing plants.
Another affordable choice is a canopy. A small pop-up gazebo or canopy creates a perfect social space for guests during the spring and summer months. Look for cream or pinstripe-patterned products with fringing to create a romantic ambience. Avoid harsh colours or dark tones, opting for pastel or neutral palettes to align with the Regency style.
FoUNTAINS
A grand water fountain is essential for a Bridgerton-style garden. Water features serve as pivotal focal points and provide the added benefit of soothing, calming water sounds.
Even a small circular pond with a single-tier, Regency-style stone fountain can bring a touch of serenity and elegance to any garden.
GArdEN PATHS
A well-defined path is essential for any decent promenade. Choose a path that creates atmosphere and leads the eye through your garden, encouraging you to linger on focal points such as fountains, topiary, or colourful beds.
Consider pathways to different zones, like your garden room. The choice of materials is personal. Gravel can contrast nicely with timber, especially chippings, but it tends to migrate with high foot traffic. Flagstone paving creates pathways leading to pavilions, drawing visitors’ eyes to garden showpieces.
dETAILS
Styling is key to creating a romantic garden setup worthy of any Bridgerton set. Use accessories that capture the essence of the Regency era for finishing touches. Delicate bird feeders, vintage-inspired shelves, and terracotta pots can elevate your garden.
Use a combination of large and small terracotta pots to create drama and frame areas like steps, doors, and seating spaces for visual interest. Terracotta pots with ornate detailing further enhance the Regency garden style.
kf kiTchens making your house a home
Teamwork proves The key To couple’s “perfecT”
anjali panwar looks around her beautiful new kitchen-living room and says: “it feels like my home now.”
turn the clock back just a few months, and it all looked very, very, different. the space was divided into three separate, smaller rooms – a kitchen, living room, and utility. For anjali and her husband uday, creating a big open plan downstairs living area was the top priority when they moved into their plymouth home last year.
“We wanted a big kitchen,” explained anjali. “the kitchen is the heart of the house, and we enjoy cooking for guests, so what was here before did not work for us. now we have this openness, which we really like.”
they initially took their vision to a national kitchen company, only to discover late in the planning and design process that the brand was unable to meet their needs. uday had heard of Plymouth family firm KF Kitchens, so they headed down to the showroom at Faraday mill to have a chat with the owners, nathan and Derinda Damarell: “We saw the difference straight away,” said uday. “We told them what we wanted, and they were happy and able to customise the kitchen to our needs, while also presenting their own ideas with the benefit of their experience.”
creating one big room meant taking out the existing kitchen and utility and removing the separating walls, which required involving structural engineers and building control. The couple also wanted underfloor heating and large, eye-catching floor-tiles. The underfloor heating was installed by another local independent firm, Studio One South West, and was scheduled so that 12 hours after it was completed, kF kitchens were ready to deliver the kitchen and start work.
uday and anjali were keen to have a contemporary
black and white kitchen. They opted for a Nolte kitchen in Nova Lack with white, high-gloss lacquered doors and black matrix art vertical and horizontal rails, so there are no handles. The Neolith worktop is supplied by Plymouth firm Mayflower Stone, and the island has waterfall ends in matching stone. The design provides the couple with masses of storage space and plenty of seating at the large island.
“We didn’t have an island in the old kitchen, and the hob was where the oven and bank of integrated appliances are now,” explained Anjali. “A big island is something that we really wanted, and we chose a combi gas and induction hob because gas is best for Indian cooking.”
Apart from the hob, all the appliances are Neff – a steam oven, combination microwave, ceiling hood, warming drawer, and washing machine. The sink and tap are by Blanco: “The steam oven is totally amazing,” said Anjali, “it’s ideal for Indian cooking, we use it all the time.”
The couple both work for the NHS and they have twin boys, so it was essential that the work was project managed and coordinated to take the strain away from them: “This was a big advantage for us,” said Uday. “The way that KF Kitchens work is unique, really. First of all, we were never rushed, there was no pushing, we were able to take our time. Then Nathan supervised it all, so we didn’t have to worry. And the workmen they use all work together well, so it all went very smoothly.”
When asked which three words they would use to describe their kitchen, they say: “Spacious, personalised, perfect.” And, says Uday, the end result was down to teamwork: “All of this was chosen by us, but Nathan and Derinda guided us along the way. Between us, we produced this design. And they were always open to us modifying the design. They even did our downstairs cloakroom, too, even though it wasn’t in the original plans, but we felt it needed to be done. And whatever Nathan said he would do; he would do it. He was a man of his word, which is very important. We never felt we didn’t know what was going on, and when we made modifications to the original plan, we never felt we were treated unfairly in terms of the cost. We were a very good team together.”
So, would they recommend KF Kitchens to other homeowners? “Absolutely,” said Anjali. “The personal touch throughout the design process is unique. They did everything with all their heart.”

PLymouTh LighThouse
Smeaton’s Tower was the third of four famous lighthouses have been built to mark the dangerous Eddystone Reef, a treacherous group of rocks that lie some 19 miles south west of Plymouth.
The Eddystone, or Eddystone Rocks forms part of an extensive reef of eroded rocks which rise up in deep water about 14 miles South West of Plymouth. Formerly a treacherous hazard for ships approaching the English Channel and the port city of Plymouth, the rocks have played host to four generations of the Eddystone Lighthouse. What can be seen today is the fourth version of the lighthouse- Douglass’s Tower. Next to this, the stump from the third generation, Smeaton’s Tower still stands.
Smeatons Tower is Plymouth’s most iconic landmark. Not only does it dominate Plymouth Hoe with its striking barber shop livery, but you’ll also come across it almost everywhere you go in the city. The much-loved lighthouse jumps out at you from postcards, paintings and posters.
smeAToN’s ToWeR 1759 - 1882
Smeaton’s Tower marked a major step forward in the design of such structures. For the first time on this site was the work of a leader in the civil engineering profession of his time. After experiencing the benefit of a light for 52 years, mariners were anxious to have it replaced as soon as possible.
In 1756, a Yorkshire man and civil engineer named John Smeaton, who had been recommended by the Royal
Society, travelled to Plymouth to take on this task. He had decided to construct a tower based on the shape of an English Oak tree for strength but made of granite blocks rather than wood. The lighthouse had a slightly curved profile, which strengthened the structure and gave it a low centre of gravity.
John Smeaton pioneered ‘hydraulic lime’, a quick drying concrete that will set under water, the formula for which is still used today. He also developed a technique of securing the granite blocks using dovetail joints and marble dowels. He is also credited with coming up with a device for lifting large blocks of stone from ships at sea to considerable heights which has never been improved upon.
Local granite blocks was used for both the foundations and exterior of his tower, and Portland stone for the inside. Construction started in 1756 at Millbay and the light was first lit by 24 candles on 16 October 1759. Smeaton’s robust tower set the pattern for a new era of lighthouse construction. In the 1870’s cracks appeared in
the rock upon which Smeaton’s lighthouse had stood for 120 years. It was also by this time, too small to contain the latest machinery. It was re-erected on Plymouth Hoe as a monument to the builder and has been Plymouth’s most famous landmark ever since.

KEEPING DOGS COOL THIS SUMMER
It’s almost mid-summer which means hot weather and hot dogs. We have gathered together the best tips to keep your dog cool this summer along with what to do if you find a dog in a hot car.
Dogs, like most pets, are unable to sweat which makes them feel a lot hotter than humans as they don’t have a supportive Thermoregulation system to cool them down. An average body temperature of a human is 37 degrees Celsius, however, the average body temperature of a dog is two degrees hotter. We all feel the difference between a hot sunny day at 20 degrees Celsius and 22 degrees Celsius which means every degree we feel is felt two degrees hotter by a dog.
to keep themselves cool, dogs pant, this enables them to breathe out the hot air from their lungs and exchange it with cooler external air. they also seek a cool surface to lie down on as opposed to carpet. their bodies are able to transfer some of their internal heat to surfaces that are cooler than themselves.
Dogs in hot cars
keeping a dog in a car in the hot weather means that there is no external cooler air for the dog to breathe in when panting so the dog’s breath soon acts as a radiator, heating up the car faster. the surfaces of a car are always soft and absorb heat fast which results in no cool surface for the dog to transfer its body heat to. this is why leaving your dog in a hot car for over 5 minutes can be potentially fatal.
the general rule is that it is safe to leave your dog in a car for no longer than 5 minutes and only when the outside temperature doesn’t exceed 21 degrees celsius. any hotter than that and you will need to think about adapting your plans to suit your dog. Whether that’s dropping the dog off at home before you do a food shop
or giving them to a family member to look after whilst you run some errands. if you have a passenger in the car, ask for them to stay in the car with the dog so you can either keep the boot open or keep the air con on. make sure you always put the window down slightly for your dog, even if you are popping out for 2 minutes and try to park in a shady spot.
If you see a dog in a hot car that you think is in distress, you should dial 999.
however, they may not be able to reach the dog in time as it can take minutes for it to turn fatal. if the situation becomes urgent and you can tell they are showing major signs of heatstroke, many people will resort to breaking into the car. this is completely your decision as it could be classed as criminal damage and you could be taken to court. Before smashing the car window, take a short video and photos to prove the dog was in distress to aid yourself in court. you should also notify the police of what you’re about to do
‘The law states that you have a lawful excuse to commit damage if you believe that the owner of the property that you damage would consent to the damage if they knew the circumstances (section 5(2)(a) Criminal Damage Act 1971).’
and why.
symptoms of heatstroke
• Heavy panting
• A rapid pulse
• Excessive salivation
• Glazed eyes
• Lack of coordination
• Vomiting or diarrhoea
• Loss of consciousness
Plenty of water
If you’re going out for the day with your dog, take a re-usable dog water bowl and water bottle and frequently offer it to your dog, especially when they are panting. You can buy special dog water bottles from most pet shops which are designed to allow you to pour the water from the bottle into an attached water bowl for portable use.
Make sure you keep an eye on your dog’s water bowl at home as they tend to drink a lot more when they are warm just like humans and you may not notice they are out of water.
If you are walking your dog at midday when it’s hottest, then try to plan a walk with plenty of shade, for example, woodland, or natural water spots like rivers, lakes and the sea. If they are not water-lovers, entice them into the water with a game of fetch or go into the water with them if you fancy a dip!
Paddling pools are not only great fun for kids but dogs love them too! Make sure you keep it in the shade to keep the water cold and they will love cooling themselves down with a little splash about.
If you don’t have a paddling pool or a sprinkler available, try pouring some tepid or cool water over your dog. It is advised not to pour ice-cold water over your dog or completely submerge your dog in water due to the sudden difference in temperatures. If you do pour some tepid or cool water over your dog, wipe away the excess water with your hand as long-haired dogs may become waterlogged making the fur hold in the heat.
PamPered Pooch
If your dog is long-haired, make sure you are regularly brushing them to get rid of loose hairs and knots that trap in the heat. Keep their coat clipped to a shorter length than they would have in
winter and make sure the hair is out of their eyes and mouth.
In the hot weather, dogs with light coloured or thinly coated fur can also get sunburnt. If they are at risk of getting sunburnt, you can now buy special dog sun cream available at pet shops.
Dogs paw pads may look pretty tough but on hot surfaces such as sand and tarmac, it can really hurt your dogs’ paws. Stick to grass and muddy terrain when walking your dog and make sure there is a cold surface available to your dog if you are in your garden.
Keep your dogs safe this summer by keeping them cool.

Burger seasonIng
• 500 g 20% fat minced beef
• 1 Egg
• ½ tsp Black pepper
• ½ tsp Ground cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
otHer IngredIents

• ½ tsp vegetable oil
• ½ White Onion

In a bowl, mix together the minced beef and egg with all the seasonings. Handle the mince with care as over mixing the mince can cause the meat to go tough. Place the mince in a circular ring mould, there is enough mixture for 4 x 125g burger and place in the fridge for 20 minutes to set. Meanwhile to make the burger sauce, mix the tomato ketchup, mayonnaise with the pickled gherkin and shallot which have both been diced finely.
2
Remove the burgers from the fridge. You can either cook the burger in a frying pan or straight on the BBQ. Slice the onion into strips and cook in a frying pan or wrapped in foil on the BBQ until they soften fully and caramelised. While cooking the burgers, cook the bacon to a crispychewy texture.
We reccomend the Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker from HBH Woolacotts

If cooking the burger in the grill place the cheese on top and turn the grill off allowing the cheese to melt in the residual heat. If cooking in a frying pan place a lid over the top.
Slice the brioche buns in half and toast to prevent the burger sauce from making the bun wet.
Assemble the burger with sauce on the top and bottom with two cheeseburger patties, 2 rashes of smoked bacon, caramalised onions, sliced tomato and salad leaves.
Barbecue Sesame Sweet Potatoes
Serves - 6
IngredIents
• 6 sweet potatoes , washed and cut into wedges
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp ginger , chopped
• 1 garlic clove , chopped
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 lime , juiced
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (black if you have them)
• 50g plain peanuts , crushed
• 1 green chilli , sliced
• ½ bunch of spring onions , washed and chopped
1
Light a lidded barbecue. Let the flames die down and the coals turn ashen, then mound the coal up on one side or heat an oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Arrange the sweet potatoes on a large tray and drizzle with 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil, season and toss. Cook on the barbecue or in the oven for 25 mins until charred and softened.
Sticky Barbecue Chicken
Serves - 4-6
IngredIents
• 4 chicken thighs and 4 chicken drumsticks, skin on
For the barbecue sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cider vinegar
• 4 tbsp light brown soft sugar
• 4 tbsp tomato ketchup
• 75ml apple juice
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1

3
Put the sauce ingredients in a pan and bring to a simmer, then keep cooking until it thickens a little and looks shiny. Use straight away or cool and chill. The sauce will keep for a week in the fridge.
Heat a barbecue until the coals are glowing white hot. Brush the chicken pieces all over with the sauce and barbecue them on each side until they are browned and sticky, then brush once more with the sauce. Don’t worry about cooking them through, as they are already cooked. If you want to cook them indoors, coat them in the sauce and grill on a medium heat on all sides.
2
Meanwhile, whisk the remaining oils, ginger, garlic, soy and lime juice. Baste the potatoes with some of the sauce and return to the barbecue for another 30-40 mins, basting as they cook. Once the potatoes are glazed and sticky, remove and sprinkle on the sesame seeds and peanuts, and leave to cool slightly. Remove the wedges from the tray and pop into a salad bowl. Sprinkle over the chilli and spring onions and serve.
