Paths of Glory In my rambly scrambly hillside garden there are some very pleasing planting combinations, but the hard paving is another matter entirely. It survives from a period in the mid 20th century when the house was a wing of a very small (12 pupils!) girls’ boarding school.
To describe the paving as utilitarian and unimaginative is to be kind. I’ve tried to draw the eye away from it with voluptuous planting, but now it is beginning to crumble and I am going to have to plan to replace it a small area at a time.
I would love to use York stone, but aside from the vast expense, with so many trees in the garden, York stone has a tendency to get very slippery, so I think I will use concrete paving. There are some great quality concrete paving slabs available, many of which have been moulded to appear like riven stone, so I will be spending some time over the next few months making plans and choosing the right paving for this garden of many levels.’

Although I say it myself, the garden is looking pretty glorious at the moment and there is a lot of standing and staring being done; in the overall scheme of things, however, I have but a small part to play, as the roses, the clematis, the annuals, the dahlias and all the other plants in the garden go about their business more or less independently. Despite a floriferous fortnight or so and a massive thunderstorm last Sunday, the roses are still looking wonderful and should still be on top form next Sunday, when we open the garden for the NGS. Their impact is augmented by a gradual injection of colour from the viticella clematis, which are just coming into bloom, as in the above picture where ‘Lady Emma Hamilton’ (lower left), ‘Crimson Glory’ (pergola) and ‘Rural England’ (a mass of pink froth in the apple trees) are boosted by Clematis ‘Margot Koster’ and ‘Madame Julia Correvon’.

The Glory of the Galanthus I’m slightly concerned that I’m in danger of developing galloping galanthophilia. I’ve previously been puzzled by those obsessed by the minute differences between one snowdrop and another, but I’ve started to realise that the differences aren’t always minute, and that it’s wonderful to grow a few specials in amongst the standard singles and doubles.
