Bath Garden Design: April 2010
http://bathgardendesign.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
We have reached that time of the year when it is a blessed relief not to be constantly braced against the cold, when looking out of the window brings pleasure not misery and when everything is really beginning to look full of life. Blossom is everywhere, Bath is full of colour and it seems that summer is really on its way. Then of course there is my own garden. Every time I looked out of the window, I would think, I really must get out there soon and get busy! Here are some of my suggestions for taking t...

Bath Garden Design: One man went to mow
http://bathgardendesign.blogspot.com/2010/07/one-man-went-to-mow.html
One man went to mow. There is nothing more nostalgic than a traditional meadow full of grasses and colourful wild flowers, however years of intensive farming have significantly reduced the number of wildflower meadows in Great Britain. Over the past few years I have encouraged my clients to allow a bit of meadow into their own gardens, or at least grow some wild flowers to attract beneficial insects. A meadow can turn a neglected part of the garden into something incredibly special and worthwhile. Go ove...

Bath Garden Design: Magnificent Magnolias
http://bathgardendesign.blogspot.com/2010/03/magnificent-magnolias.html
One of my favourite moments in the year is when the Magnolias start to flower. Along with wisteria, Magnolias herald the new season of sunny warm days and having been modestly hidden in the garden for months, they suddenly show themselves everywhere with their amazing pinky white cup and star shaped blooms. Their simple shape with thick petals and stiff anthers together with their powerful scent are adapted to pollination by larger insects. Later during the late 18. They were often planted in temple gard...

Bath Garden Design: Know your onions
http://bathgardendesign.blogspot.com/2010/05/know-your-onions.html
I don’t think I’ve come across many people who don’t like alliums. There is something so cheerful about their classic pom-pom heads and strong form and it is a sight to see them marching across a border in their serried ranks adding an upright accent in otherwise softly flowering surroundings. Purple Sensation has amazing coloured purple flowers and I have found it to be reliable year after year. They do make a huge statement and for me signal that summer is really happening! Another good variety in my o...

Bath Garden Design: June 2010
http://bathgardendesign.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
A Short Back and Sides. The pruning and shaping of shrubs and trees is an art that stretches back to ancient times. There are Roman texts which mention the use of precision clipped box hedges as well as amazing sculptures, described by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia, showing such wonders as ships in sail or entire hunting scenes as well as animals, inscriptions and obelisks. This grand French style inevitably penetrated into some of the great gardens of Europe although the Landscape Movement w...

Sunday, 29 January 2012. The Wonders of the Chilli. There are a wealth of chilli seeds for sale online-just Google chilli seeds and the world of chilli seed will open up in front of your eyes. I can strongly recommend www.simpsonsseeds.co.uk. And www.dartmoorchillifarm.co.uk. As great chilli people but there are countless folk out there who's lives revolve around the fruits of the plant and what to do with them. Who has regularly been seen as the River Cottage maestro of chillies. Chillies are, of course...
