Romantic gardens - how to create the magic
Plus: Top 100 romantic plants, annual seeds to order now, an inspirational book, a new series on show gardens, and the winners of December's book giveaway
I think it’s time for a bit of romance and a bit of colour therapyI’ve said it before: let’s do what gardening often makes us do, which is to put grey skies and cold temperatures behind us: let’s instead look forward to all the good things that are to come as our world circles round. Let’s look forward to the colours of Spring, the palest lemons of daffodils that seduce even the most vehement yellow-hater. Before we know it, our flowerbeds and grassy areas will be sprinkled with the palest blues of scillas and baby iris - don’t worry if you didn’t manage to plant these tiny spring bulbs last year, as we’ll always have reminders and how-tos here on The Gardening Mind, as ever, with plant suggestions and planting suggestions both familiar and new ideas too. You’re very possibly thinking that it might be a bit late for some bulbs, but if you’ve still got some tulip bulbs hanging around that you’ve procrastinated and procrastinated about, and which you’ve written off for this year and are about to consign to the compost heap, can I just say now: don’t do it! Give planting them a go - I can tell you from experience that you’ve nothing to lose: "There are times when you are totally fulfilled and happy" and others when you may be "depressed and disappointed and even jealous of other people's gardens. But you can't get divorced from your garden. You're with it, for better or worse, in sickness and in health."
