With drier, warmer conditions becoming the new normal in our gardens, it is time to plan ahead in your borders. The hardy lavender-blue flowers of the Russian sage, Salvia 'Blue Spire' (syn. perovskia), are beginning to open in mid-July and bloom in full Aug/Sep. Each plant reaches 1m across and 1.2m in height creating real impact at this time of year.

This tough, deciduous sub-shrub has an upright habit which is maintained when grown in poor, free-draining soils in full sun.
Russian sage looks great when grown as a stand-alone or when grown alongside other drought-tolerant plants of contrasting shapes, textures and colours, such as Stipa gigantea, Yucca gloriosa and Ballota acetabulosa.

Worked in this stunning garden today in central Cambridge, preparing it for a viewing by Estate agents to take photographs. The client requested they wanted the garden looking beautiful, so that is what they got. Also, removed oil stains from front driveway, they were super pleased with the finished result.

This year's gardening trend is wildflowers. If you want to attract more insects and wildlife into your garden, we can help advise you on ways to do so. Why not try switching from manicured lawns, to creating a wildflower meadow, as seen in the image below. You will see the benefits from nature almost instantly. And the riot of colour that wildflowers bring is amazing too, a win, win for you and nature too.

Fitted this Security Combination Lock to a client's gate in the centre of Cambridge, also carried out remedial repairs to the gate's main joints as they were coming apart slightly. Now the gate is much more secure, and I can access the garden to water plants, while they are away on holiday.

Salvia - sylvestris 'Serenade'

Spreading clumps of foliage are topped with slender spires of intense purple-blue flowers throughout the summer. Salvias are a cottage garden favourite, and the flowers are attractive to bees and other beneficial insects. This cultivar looks wonderful blended with silvers, rich pinks and plum tones.

Occasionally it's nice to do freebie jobs, for nice people. I recently relayed these loose paving slabs for one of my elderly clients, based in Fulbourn. Someone had previously tried to repair them using silicon to hold them down, well that wasn't ever going to work. Job done properly, and he won't be tripping over them now.

Planted out this elegant patio with potted shrubs and raised bed earlier this week. An interesting selection of 'Miniature Yew bush and Japanese Bonsai Shrubs in the front, with Dwarf Hydrangeas' at the back to complete the mix.
