Gardens Illustrated Magazine March 2022 Zurück Ausgabe

With spring in the air, our March issue celebrates the blossom, buds and fresh foliage of early spring flowers. Gravetye's head gardener, Tom Coward, recommends his favourite March plants and nurseryman John Massey offers his choice of the best of our cover stars – hepaticas. We also meet prolific daffodil breeder Brian Duncan and fall under the spell of his miniature daffodils. Cottesbrooke's head gardener Jenny Barnes begins a new container-planting series with ideas for beautiful spring pots, and our gardener-cook Aaron Bertelsen suggests the best kitchen garden seeds to sow this month. We're also keeping one eye on summer as four experts choose the best perennials you can sow from seed now that will flower later this year. And to help you prepare for this frenzy of seed sowing, we select the most stylish potting tables. We also offer garden inspiration in the form of a country garden with a fabulous daffodil meadow, a tiny courtyard garden with a lush green wall and a contemporary city garden that combines smart structure with naturalistic planting. Plus we meet the makers who are bringing the traditional cast-iron cloche back into fashion.
