Iris 'Pink Charm' - just one of the dusky blooms on Jo Thompson 's Wedgwood Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. For more information on this iris and other coral, peach and ivory flowers in the garden that are easy to grow at home, see my bio for a link to dogwooddays blog...

Wildflower power, woodland planting, peat-free tomato compost, sustainable design and new blight-resistant tomato cultivars: 5 Environmentally-Friendly Ideas to Take Home from #RHSChelsea Flower Show this year (link to article in bio...)

Andy Sturgeon's Best in Show gold-winning garden makes an imposing statement about nature's extraordinary powers of regeneration #RHSChelsea

I have often thought that the Big Name seed-merchants charge far too much for seeds, even the really common ones, and they frequently don't give you many seeds in […]
