It was plant delivery day yesterday at project which is always an exciting day onsite đ± Having cleared and prepared the beds - rescuing this stunning Acer âBloodgoodâ from the wilderness in the process - the team got busy planting up a gorgeous selection of aquilegia, echinacea, sedums, hydrangea, alchemilla mollis and evergreen Ilex crenata balls.
A beautiful multi-stemmed Zelkova serrata takes centre-stage in one of the beds, surrounded by the dark purple spears of Salvia âMay Nightâ and the cottage-garden classic Rosa âEustacia Vyeâ. We love to specify David Austin Roses in our projects and this shrub rose has a particularly vigorous and bushy habit, so it will fill out the bed with masses of apricot-pink ruffles - and clouds of glorious scent - in no time.
As well as providing lush and colourful views, the ornamental section of the garden will attract lots of pollinators and other beneficial insects. This will ensure a healthy and diverse ecosystem and benefit the kitchen garden thatâs planned for the next section.
