~August~’
Im glad to be back after a few weeks off and to be catching up with all my gardens this month. It’s been brutally hot and quite challenging regarding watering choices…which plants to sacrifice, which ones to preserve. Crispy lawns (don’t panic, they’ll come back!). But also enlightening watching which plants have thrived (some cracking Hibiscus in my area,seemingly unbothered by the drought). I’m sure it will be all change in lots of gardens this autumn as we work out which plants can cope with this crazy climate change!

On rare occasions, I get asked to grow veg for clients. It’s such a treat, because really, that’s how all of this started for me as a child. Pulling carrots from the garden and eating them covered in soil (gave them a little wipe on my t-shirt!). It’s as magical to me now as it was when I was five years old.

No Mow May 😍

Are you taking part in this year? It’s great fun to see what wildflowers might pop up if you let your lawn grow a bit and it’s fantastic for feeding our butterflies, bees and birds. If you aren’t sure, perhaps just leave a small area of your lawn and mow a path through the middle to make it look intentional, or do like me and keep the edges cut but let the rest grow. It’s all a bit of fun…experiment! Your local wildlife will thank you for it 🌱

We visited BBC Gardeners World Spring Fair this weekend to see the show garden created by the students and my garden design tutor . They won a Gold medal for their design, Salty towers, and best interpretation of theme award! 👏

A nice little border redesign in a new build garden. They’d made a great start with all the evergreens…I just repositioned them after increasing the border width, added perennials, loads of compost and mulched well. They’re going to add in a climber to cover the fence and we’ll talk about planting spring flowering bulbs in the coming autumn.
