A true gardener is a passionate collector of plants and knows their habits; when they are at their best and the colour combinations that enhance each element.
This morning, Holly and I were privileged to wander around our neighbour’s exquisite collection of trees, shrubs and flowers that encircle her country home. The chosen plants have been considered before planting and the garden plan was commissioned from one of New Zealand’s most respected gardeners. Trish Waugh, has won Gold at the prestigious Chelsea garden award.
What I love about Jean’s garden is its colour and form, all year round, but is best seen in the spring light. Jean praised the ‘ajuga’ for looking stately as the bluebells had faded in their glory.
She lovingly held the long leafed delicate maple and we all marvelled at the rhododendron blooms.
Bevan, her husband, was mowing their carpet like lawn. This is a true garden with heart and soul.
