Sophie at Digg and Co. - A year in the field.
Digg & Co’s Sophie Ogilvie-Graham shares her experiences of farm and studio life since she joined us last year. Read on to find out more about how landscape architecture and farming go hand in hand as we try to move the needle on the wholesale restoration of biodiverse and resilient ecosystems.

A look at the rapid progress of delivering the restoration of 220 acres of grassland habitats on the Wendling Beck Environment Project.
Learning from Nature
Digg & Co. Studio has been working with Glen Falloch estate on naturally inspired landscape restoration. This video was produced by Loch Lomond and the Trossachs national park team to showcase the positive moves being made to turn around climate change and reverse biodiversity loss.
The Wendling Beck Exemplar Project
Digg & Co. Studio masterplanned the Wendling Beck Exemplar Project. Today we found out the project received £100,000.00 to continue to the next stage of design and to begin restoring the first habitats.
The Landscape of Home
As the building work on Ash Barn settles, we have time to explore concepts in planting which underpin the studio’s philosophy on landscapes and their connections.
The Difference of a Day - 3rd February 2021

Camp Farm - Autumn Visit 2020.
A short walk around a project we designed and planted in March 2020. This little video shows the garden after 18 months of growth and in its second year.
Throat Farm July 2020
Checking in on Throat Farm one year on from making the landscape. Both hard and soft landscaping was developed to suit a wild and natural aesthetic. This was to compliment the beautiful oak woods and meadows of Exmoor filling the frame beyond the garden fence. Native plugs and seed mixes were used to hark back to the wild days when the house was first purchased. There is still more to do, but the landscape was settling in nicely on a beautiful July evening.
1700 Trees and counting..
On the farm, we have planted 1700 trees so far this winter. In this post we explore where is best to place trees and how to increase habitat, without unwittingly altering another.
Biomimicry in the Highlands
On a recent trip to the Scottish Highlands, the Digg & Co. Studio team took a look at the role contemporary farming practices such as holistic grazing and biomimicry could have on restoring biodiversity and richness to the uplands of Great Britain. Can we, through planned grazing and the correct rest/recovery periods use farming to restore the Caledonian ecosystems?
