Thalictrum Aquilegiifolium Album is particularly robust
Iris Reticulata Harmony
This shrub Viburnum Plicatum Mariesii has to be one of the most outstanding shrubs which you will find for that very special sunny position in your garden.
We all love the Holly bush, however it is extremely frustrating when they don’t form the berries which we have been eagerly awaiting. Try Holly JC Van Tol.
Clematis Perle d Azur from the Jackmanii group is simply sensational.

Pampas Grass Pumila

What is the The Environment and I all about. Well its just me banging on about stuff that’s on my mind at this moment. Probably at a later date when I check this out I will think what the heck am I saying and quickly delete the post.
Not so long back I posted a profile on the Begonia Flamboyant. Today I am looking at one of the other Royal Renaissance varieties, Begonia Helen Harmes (Harms), an excellent tuberous Begonia with small single and semi double flowers.
Hypericum, its, well let’s face it, a common shrub which we generally wouldn’t look twice at.
Its time I tried the Scottish Bluebell in the garden, Bluebell (Campanula rotundifolia) (Harebell)
Astrantia Maxima. Of all the Astrantia’s of which there are many, Maxima in my opinion is the most striking of all.
If you happen to be searching for a narrow growing conifer and feeling a little undecided in your choice, I think I have found just what you are looking for. Taxus Baccata Fastigiata Robusta Many gardeners opt for the Italian Cypress, however in my experience here in Aberdeen it simply is not hardy enough.
Rhododendron Taurus, one of the best reds available.
OK, so its not a hardy plant, but its not half a show off. Begonia Firecracker one of those tuberous upright Begonias which looks great in containers or for bedding out
The Rose Remember me an excellent hybrid tea rose which is very beautiful as a specimen or for bedding. Bred by Cockers in 1984, parentage=Alexander x Silver jubilee.
Schizostylis Coccinea Major is a total eye catcher in the garden at a time when perhaps, you think its all over. Possibly the star of all the Autumn flowers, it is a vigorous clump forming perennial with erect sword shaped leaves and single red flowers.
Rodgersia podophylla , likes positioned in a semi shaded position with soil that does not dry out.
Alstroemerias a beautiful hardy perennial not a plant grown for its foliage, but makes up for this with masses of gorgeous flowers.
The Toad Lily Tricyrtis Hirta is a most unusual plant with small exotic looking flowers and hairy green leaves.
What a beauty is the Oriental Lily Muscadet.
Adam Messerich a bourbon shrub Rose bred in Germany in 1920 by Peter Lambert.
Meconopsis Sheldonii a truly magnificent hardy perennial. Planted in the woodland garden it always grabs the attention of visitors.
Fothergilla Monticola a shrub which I was not familiar with
Surprisingly, even way up north in Aberdeen the garden still holds on to a Summer look at the very end of September, and with an improvement in the weather, lets hope for an Indian Summer.
The Snowdrops are blooming
Lilium Tigrinum Splendens, how showy is this plant. Last Summer was the second year that Tigrinum Splendens graced the main border of the back garden.
The "Gardens in General" section of our website diygarden.cc is dedicated to the magic of gardens and their universal appeal to each one of us.
Gardens refer to intentionally cultivated and landscaped outdoor spaces, typically located near homes, public places, or other buildings. They are designed for various purposes, including aesthetic enjoyment, leisure, recreational activities, and growing plants for food, medicinal, or ornamental purposes.
They can come in many forms and styles, such as:
Flower Gardens: These gardens primarily feature a wide variety of flowering plants, arranged for their beauty and colorful blooms. Vegetable Gardens: Designed for growing vegetables and herbs, these gardens provide a source of fresh, homegrown produce. Herb Gardens: Focused on cultivating various culinary or medicinal herbs. Fruit Gardens: Gardens specifically dedicated to growing fruit-bearing trees, bushes, or vines. Botanical Gardens: Public gardens that display a diverse collection of plants, often organized by species or geographical regions, for educational and recreational purposes. Zen Gardens: Japanese-inspired gardens that promote tranquility and contemplation through carefully arranged rocks, gravel, and minimalist plantings. Formal Gardens: These gardens adhere to a specific design and symmetrical layout, often featuring elaborate hedges, topiaries, and precise geometric patterns.
The specific plants, features, and layouts of gardens can vary widely depending on the region, climate, cultural influences, and the preferences of the gardener or designer. Gardens offer a space to connect with nature, create beauty, and provide environmental benefits by supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health.
