Indoor Plant Theatre

I've made this indoor plant theatre using a vintage frame and making a simple shadow.  This is great way to showcase a special plant or plant collection.   

Is it Spring yet?

Is it Spring yet?

Not quite but almost.

I took the opportunity to go to RHS Wisley the other day to visit their bookstore (always a favourite pastime) and walk through the gardens.

There were signs of Spring creeping into the winter landscape. Snow drops pushing there heads above the foliage. Sarcococca in full bloom, its lovely citrus scent filling the air.

Before we know it Spring will be here. So its time to make sure all those untidy perennials are cut back, winter pruning projects are finished and those other irksome tasks like tidying the shed and cleaning our tools are all completed before we head back into the garden full time.

If you haven't done so already now is a perfect time to make plans for new flower beds, vegetable gardens, landscaping and garden makeovers.

Whether you engage a garden designer like myself or you do-it-yourself, planning any garden on paper first makes good sense. It helps you make good plant choices and avoid all those impulse buys at the garden centre! You will also save time in the long run and save money.

So get cleaning and designing!

Christmas Wreath

Decorating for the holidays,

Nothing looks nicer than a wreath on the front door at Christmas. Here's one I made using a fresh mixed wreath which I then decorated with artificial fruit. A nice big bow sets the whole thing off.
