Winter is a great time to assess the health of your hedges. Without their leaves, it’s easier to see the structures and what might need a change. Winter is also a great time for management, both trimming and rejuvenation such as laying👇

We're very lucky to have talented artists supporting PTES and we love this beautiful snow leopard by our friend and supporter, artist Kate Moby. This hand-drawn illustration is rendered in inky cool tones using a bamboo pen which perfectly contrasts the soft flowing coat with piercing feline eyes.❄️🐾
