A Touch of Green


Sedums are such beautiful plants. I love 'Autumn Joy' but have discovered'Stardust' which I have littered throughout my garden!

Espaliered Apples


Above is St Ambrose Farm, another one of Paul Bangay's gardens. I love the espaliered apples used a boarders around each of the garden beds. These would look stunning no matter what the season!

My Favourite Garden Designer...


Paul Bangay is easily my favourite garden designer and I was fortunate enough to recently visit his Stonefields property as part of the open garden scheme a couple of weeks ago.

Of interest was the fact that that he seems to have moved away from Magnolias and Ornamental Pears; varieties that have been pivital parts of his previous designs including St Ambrose Farm.

Despite this, it is a truley outstanding garden...I can't wait for the book!
