Plants: Kniphofia

Posted on September 18, 2015September 15, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

Knifophia. A robust native of South Africa usually with a red/orange flower mid to late summer (UK). Modern hybridising has brought us a wider range of colours from greens and white through yellows to deep oranges. I must admit that although I don’t mind them I rarely get to put them in a scheme, a…

Garden Visit: Wimpole Hall in late summer

Posted on September 15, 2015September 21, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

One of my favorite local-ish gardens is NT Wimpole Hall. At this time of the year the wonderfully wide (3m at least) herbaceous borders flanking the walled kitchen garden are bursting with late summer colour. Shocking blue Salvia jostle with Hellianthus and Achillea while floaty Stipa gigantea wafts about in between them all. This time…

Garden Visit: Wollerton Old Hall – Summer

Posted on August 5, 2015August 4, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

A damp squib of a day really but as I only had one day free, that day it had to be. I have been to Wollerton Old Hall a few times, friends live 15 minutes along the A57 so it’s an easy place to find and visit. The car park was busy even though I…

Visiting Gardens – II

Posted on July 28, 2015July 21, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

I’ve been quite busy with designing and planting over the last few months, which is always good and brings an opportunity to look back at the garden visit archives here on the blog and to update some of them with new photos. Yet again I am adding and re-adding to the list of gardens to…

Nursery Visit

Posted on June 26, 2015July 17, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

Visiting nurseries and gardens are one of the big pleasures of being a garden designer. Somehow there is never enough time to see all of the nurseries or all of the gardens one wants to but in 2015 I’m making a concerted effort to see one or other, possibly both, every month. Rooting out excellent…

Roses

Posted on June 15, 2015July 6, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

I’m not  a Rose aficionado in the same way I am an Iris aficionado despite my name(s) and my Mother’s passion for roses that saw the full length of one garden boundary fence smothered in them, I have avoided them for much of my life due to the often intense fragrance which would set me…

Inspirations from a Walled Garden – Wimpole Hall

Posted on February 28, 2012July 21, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

I know I have banged on about Wimpole Hall on several occasions, it is my ‘local’ NT garden after all but it  remains an inspiring place to go and is full of ideas to take home and try out, on a somewhat smaller scale of course!. When I say it is inspiring I am not…

The Dorothy Clive Gardens

Posted on November 3, 2010July 28, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

REFLECTIONS UPON A GARDEN VISIT – written for the SGD student writing competition 2010. The Dorothy Clive Garden, Shropshire Shropshire is glorious country. Far enough off the beaten track to be truly unspoiled but filled with and close to, so many enticing garden greats that an offer of the use of a small, well appointed manor…

Garden Visit: Anglesey Abbey

Posted on January 26, 2010July 28, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

With the flurry of activity surrounding the Hard Landscape portfolio and Bespoke portfolio visits to winter gardens for shots to go into the Soft Landscape portfolio have all but been forgotten. But today, as the sun finally peaked out from the clouds, I felt I HAD to go to see the spectacular snowdrop display and…

Garden Visit: RHS Wisely

Posted on October 19, 2009July 21, 2015 by RosewarneGardens

A dreary day with some drizzle greeted me at RHS Wisely which is just off the M25 south of London. Amazingly the car park was half full. School visits and elderly groups making the most of the Autumn fair. Wisley has its great formal herbaceous borders edging the large formal pool, maybe that should be…
