Structure and detail in Coal Drop’s Yard. Dig, mulch, dig some more - preparing the ground for @annetouche ‘s new planting at the main café in Queen Mary’s Gardens yesterday. The best place to be on a blustery day like today was at ground level behind a nice yew hedge, not being whipped about by photinias that seemed to not want to be pruned. This way to the lake: moorhen footprints in Queen Mary’s Gardens this morning. Pink wash of Prunus cerasifera petals against pale-apricot sunset over the tip of the Boating Lake in Regent’s Park. The dry garden in Hyde Hall has a distinctive Australian beachscape feel about it. Partly that’s because there are quite a few plants from down under - several of which, even established ones, visibly suffered in the recent cold snaps; their counterparts in central London fared much better. And partly it’s the shape of the striking new (to me) modern buildings housing the café at the top of the hill. A large, light-filled space, it was perfect to warm up cold fingers and do a quick sketch of the incredible views. New colour and old colour: the fresh yellow of Cornus mas emerging amid the shades of buff, brown and rust in the winter garden, Hyde Hall, yesterday. Texture inspiration in the New Zealand garden at the Savill Garden. We often think of New Zealand plants at drought resilient. Some of them are, some aren’t. And quite a few prefer moderately fertile soil. Similarly, many in the Savill Garden appeared to have withstood the intense cold we’ve had this winter much better than possibly expected; others, sometimes in the same genus, less so (Olearia, for instance, showed some astonishingly different responses). So, aside from the wonderful aesthetics, a useful reminder, if needed, of the variety of conditions and plant adaptations in Australasia. Fantastic day out at the Savill Garden with the Planting Design class. Huge thanks to John Anderson, Keeper of the Gardens, for taking us around and sharing his knowledge and passion, and to gardeners Geoff and Connor for their insight into the maintenance and development of the gardens. Crisp, misty morning in St John’s Lodge gardens.
