In the green rolling hills of East Sussex are Phil and Steve, better known to most as Bignose & Beardy. Together, they’ve cultivated something more than cider. It’s a way of life, rooted in community, sustainability, and a quietly distinctive sense of style. They make cider, yes. But they also tell stories, host gatherings, and remind us that style and substance are best enjoyed together.

In the world of horticulture, few stories unfold quite like that of Guy Watts. Garden designer, managing director, and the owner of Architectural Plants—a 32-acre nursery in West Sussex that’s home to over 40,000 plants and, notably, some of the largest pots you’re ever likely to see. His journey is one of quiet determination, sharp intuition, and a deep, long standing relationship with the natural world.
