How can I choose my favourite David Austin (English) roses!? Honestly, that is an impossible mission, however, these four I have come to love and rely on year after year.
I have been following Jamie Beck since sometime in 2017. When Covid set the world upside down, Jamie began her Isolation Creation work of still lifes.
This time of year in the garden is one of looking back and reflecting and of looking forward and planning. Here is a look back, in pictures.
Over my gardening life, I have developed some true loves. Some must have plants that do well, no matter what garden I am in or what style my garden is. As you know, my garden is in the English cottage style but these five perennials work in any garden.
Select your vase, collect your flowers and throw everything in. Don’t worry about the final result as it will be beautiful. You can’t go wrong with beautiful flowers and there is no wrong way to build your arrangment.
I can feel summer peaking as I write this post. We are heading into late August. That’s the time my dahlias finally start to bloom and my cosmos and zinnias in the cutting garden are still going strong. Even my sweet peas are holding their own.
How we turned our driveway into a cutting garden and sanctuary. Four raised beds filled my home with flowers all season long.
I am very sentimental about my home and my garden. I bond with everything. I put roots down and deep, deep down they go.
Summer brings such a bounty of floral abundance. I’m very fickle about what my favourite flowers are but I can say that when dahlia time rolls around I am besotted with them.
August is a month that continues to bring a good array of garden bounty. I have a small garden but it still gives me picking options for the month. Hydrangeas and roses still abound and dahlias have settled in and are beginning to bloom.
I’m taking stock of my garden of 2018 and making plans for 2019. Come for a little mini tour of some of my garden highlights with more to come as the year progresses xo
It would be near to impossible to describe Claude Monet's home and garden at Giverny other than to say it is like walking into a Monet painting. We visited back in 2008.
It all started back in 2001 when we took 10 weeks to tootle around the UK. We decided to do some home exchanges as our daughter was two years old having an actual home to stay in would be better than hotel living.
I love gardens. I think that comes as no surprise, given the number of garden and flower images I post. I can’t stop doing it.
Is there anything more rewarding than growing your flowers from seed? Sweet Peas are easy to grow and give an abundance of flowers all season long, filling your home and garden with their intoxicating fragrance.
