Gardens

It’s an easy plant to grow, and adds a wonderful scent and colour to any garden. It’s also a plant bees love, so you might not want to harvest all of it – leave a little for the bees.

Interior and exterior design are as much about performance as they are aesthetics. When it comes to garden furniture, we’re faced with myriad choices. So how do you decide which is ‘the one’?

Standards are useful for adding height to a border and look particularly impressive when planted closely together in groups of three or four.

Sometimes the winter seems like a bleak time, although there are, of course, things that make it worthwhile: hot chocolate, warm fires, and planting apple trees.
