Just before Christmas, Clare Matterson, director general of the RHS, wrote to ask if I would be RHS Hampton Court’s Iconic Horticultural Hero for 2023, which was both shocking and flattering in equal measure! Because of that, I was able to design a garden for the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.
How to Get Bird of Paradise to Bloom | When Do Strelitzia Bloom

Here are some top secrets on How to Get Bird of Paradise to Bloom! Use them to your advantage and make your plant full of flowers!
The most common reason that stops a strelitzia from flowering is its age and insufficient light. While this plant can tolerate low light, it needs at least four to six hours of direct light even indoors for adequate blooming.
Bird of paradise takes 3-5 years to mature for flowering. Young plants do not bloom easily. Also, when the plant starts flowering, do not disturb it by repotting and allowing it to stay in the same container to promote more blossoms.
Its beautiful, exotic flowers appear throughout the year in favorable warm climatic conditions, if the plant is mature enough. However, it generally flowers from fall to spring. The young ones may bloom even less from late winters and up to spring.
Bird of paradise begins to flower when the plant becomes slightly old, usually after 3-5 years. Till then it compensates with its incredible banana-like foliage.
In case your plant is not blooming, maybe because it is too young. Wait and let the plant reach maturity to produce blossoms; else, buy a mature plant that is 3-4 years old.
While getting a new plant, ask nursery staff how old it is to get an idea!
If you have bought a plant that’s healthy, growing well, and blooming, there’s no sense re-potting it suddenly into a beautiful and bigger container the moment you bring it home.
People have a misconception that transferring a new plant into a bigger pot, with a fresh growing medium, helps a plant grow. This is somewhat true, but it doesn’t apply to a plant that’s actively blooming or growing. Unless it is terribly root bound, you should not re-pot it.
Let the plant be in the same container in which it

More Shopping at the Chelsea Flower Show
Gloves are always of interest to gardeners – I have an enormous collection, many of which have holes in the fingers, so I think it is time to cull the less than perfect and invest in a few more. I came back from the show with a pair of MechanixWear womens’ leather-palmed gloves (£22) which are soft, comfortable and washable as well as extremely tough. The sizing is on the small side though so it’s best to buy larger than normal. Burgon & Ball always have innovative displays on their stand – their Love the Glove range (from £12.95) were displayed under glass domes. These gloves are ultra-soft but hardwearing, have padded palm and a wrist strap to keep debris out. www.burgonandball.com Sneeboer, makers of fine garden tools have had fun with one of their garden spades that they have fashioned into a stool – it’s not for sale, but I best they get lots of enquiries about it – so who knows, in the future it may be added to the range. Just the sort of thing the hipsters love! Trugs come in every shape and size and the Trugmake

Three Gardens from the Chelsea Flower Show 2015 Preview
In my earlier post about Sir Paul Smith, I wrote about the role of green as the anchor that holds everything in place in a garden – so it’s unsurprising that the greenness was what I noticed as I looked at some of the drawings of this year’s Chelsea gardens. No doubt, when we get to Chelsea our eyes will seek out the excitement, and the actual gardens will be further enlivened by shape, texture and the play of light, but it is useful to see the contribution that green makes to each of the gardens and bear it in mind for the planting in our own garden.
