From the garden to the Table

Purple Pickings from the Garden

I love the way my flower borders change colour and texture throughout the year. The art therefore to planning successful successional planting scheme is to allow for and embrace the unplanned. From year to year, season to season, plants will preform differently in response to so many different factors; sun, wind, rain, pests, nutrition, temperature and temperament, in fact they’re just like us humans, predictability is far from guaranteed. Use your experience and knowledge to create the structure and rhythm of the tapestry that is your garden but then be responsive to the uniqueness of each season and each year.
