Of course, they also provide nectar-rich food for butterflies, which visit these pretty shrubs all season long.

A Real Treat

Last Sunday we treated ourselves to a visit to David Austin Roses, the ‘royal’ We that is, as the Golfer was happy enough to tag along wherever I planned to go. Although only about 35 miles away, I prefer to be as economical as possible with such trips and combine them with something else,  or include them en route to a more distant location, which is what we did, staying one night on the Staffordshire/Shropshire border and visiting other places too. The gardens are attached to the nursery and are open all year round at no cost, with over 700 different roses planted within the two acre rose garden, divided into smaller themed areas divided by neat hedges. The roses are complemented by a range of perennials, with sculptures by the late Pat Austin dotted throughout the gardens.

Rock Garden Ideas

Rock gardens are an attractive way of displaying a variety of small plants including alpines, dwarf shrubs and low-growing perennials. They can be adapted to suit any space – an alpine trough, old stone wall or sunny border can all be used to create a form of rock garden. One of the first rock gardens was built at the Chelsea Physic Garden in London in the late 1770s, and they became a popular feature in Victorian and Edwardian gardens, providing a way to display alpine plants from around the world.

End of Month View: Transitions

Other than a gradual reduction in blooms and the appearance of seasonal orb spiders and Cyclamen hederifolium I hadn’t really noticed how close autumn is until Pauline of Lead Up the Garden Path talked last week about signs of autumn in her garden. I duly looked UP here, instead of down or straight ahead and, my goodness, the leaves are indeed beginning to turn! Overnight temperatures are now cooler too, down to 7°C in recent days, with a monthly maximum of 29°C. It has been a fairly dry month (and the driest of the year), with around 29mm of rain which has been typical of August here of late. Although the garden would certainly welcome some rainfall, the main thing I noticed when I took this month’s photographs is the amount of foliage, the result of lush growth earlier in the year when rainfall was plentiful.

Eight Reasons to Prune Plants in Summer

Summer pruning is an often overlooked task, but if anything, it’s just as important as chopping plants back when they are dormant in winter. Cutting back plants in summer has a host of benefits, not least in helping to restrict the size of your plants and stopping them outgrowing their allotted space. It can also promote future flowering and fruiting.

What to Prune in Summer

Pruning plants in summer is just as important for some plants as winter pruning. By pruning in summer, you can reap the rewards of better displays from ornamental plants. You’ll also encourage bigger crops from fruit trees and bushes. Removing new summer growth before it turns woody reduces growth-promoting nitrogen, allowing potassium to build up – and more potassium means more flowers and fruit. You’ll also keep plants, such as shrubs, climbers and rambling roses, within bounds and maintain an attractive shape.

Build a Four-Season, Grass-Forward Garden: Plant IDs

Susan Calhoun’s garden in Poulsbo, Washington started out as an ugly patch of lawn that stretched along a property line. It was close to the shoreline and extremely close to a neighboring house. She craved privacy and four-season appeal but didn’t want to install a heavy line of shrubs or trees and create a claustrophobic “garden room.” Always having been a big fan of ornamental grasses and their undeniable texture, Susan decided to build a double border with grasses as the backbone. To that foundation, she added colorful plants that shine in different seasons, ensuring that this garden always looks good. Susan insists that designing this type of magical garden was easy; it just took the right planning and plants. The following are some of the main areas of this enchanting space, and the perennials, grasses, trees, and shrubs that help it shine.

How To Grow Sea Buckthorn

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a deciduous shrub in the olive or Elaeagnaceae family. It grows naturally in Asia and Europe, including Britain where it’s considered native to the sand dunes of the east coast. It’s been introduced elsewhere in the country, often to stabilise dunes, but has spread and become invasive. It retains its foliage until late into autumn and tends to shade out other plants. This is a particular problem in the UK on sand dunes, where thickets of sea buckthorn can outcompete the local flora. As a nitrogen-fixing plant, sea buckthorn also enriches the soil in dunes, making it less suitable for other dune species that have evolved to grow in soil conditions with low nutrients.

Shrubs are a type of woody plant characterized by multiple stems and a relatively low height, typically below 20 feet (6 meters). They are larger than herbs but smaller than trees. Shrubs are an important component of gardens, landscapes, and natural ecosystems due to their aesthetic appeal, functionality, and ecological value.

They come in various shapes, sizes, and forms, ranging from compact and bushy to more open and sprawling. They can be deciduous, meaning they shed their leaves seasonally, or evergreen, retaining their foliage year-round.

Some shrubs produce vibrant flowers, while others are valued for their foliage, fruit, or bark. In landscaping, shrubs serve multiple purposes. They can be used as ornamental plants to provide structure, color, and texture to gardens, borders, or hedges.

They are often employed for privacy screening, windbreaks, or to create natural boundaries. They can also attract wildlife, such as birds and butterflies, and contribute to the overall biodiversity of an area. Shrubs are relatively low-maintenance plants and can adapt to a wide range of climates and soil conditions.

They can be propagated through various methods, including seeds, cuttings, or grafting, making them accessible to both amateur and professional gardeners. Popular examples of shrubs include roses, azaleas, hydrangeas, boxwoods, lilacs, and forsythias, among many others. These plants offer a diverse array of colors, fragrances, and seasonal interest, making them versatile and highly valued in gardens and landscapes.
