What we've learned for the future
BBC Gardeners World|August 2023
As I reflect on the dry meadow project, I've been asking myself a number of questions.
What we've learned for the future

Firstly, was it right to import a volume of man-made concrete into a garden? The concrete is recycled and repurposed, compared to a natural product that is mined or removed from the natural environment.

Secondly, am I comfortable to move away from more tried and tested garden plants and use more wild-looking species?

I'm very happy with this decision as this drought tolerant community positively thrived through hot, dry weather and was awash with pollinators, giving tremendous benefit to biodiversity within the garden.

We love June

We love June

We're cruising towards midsummer: this is a month full of love and abundance. Wherever you look there will be something in your garden that lifts the spirits and makes you glad to be alive. We have colour to cheer us, we have leaves that still have the bounce and freshness of small puppies, we have the first berries fattening up, there are birds frantically parenting very demanding broods of chicks, the bees are all over the place, it's prime barbecue and picnic season, and we have lawns as lush and green as billiard tables. What a month to fall in love.
