Gardens Illustrated Magazine May-21 Zurück Ausgabe

Your garden in May has a determination and energy all of its own as green foliage and blousy flowers bring fresh restorative appeal. This month designer Dan Pearson reveals his passion for irises bred by artist gardener Cedric Morris. Famously growing as many as 1,000 seedlings a year, Morris selected those that he was drawn to for their ‘elegance, pride and delicacy’. Also this issue we get a glimpse of Chelsea award winner Andy Sturgeon’s own garden. It’s perfectly fit for purpose as a family garden, filled with brilliant design ideas and richly planted. Jimi Blake of Hunting Brook Gardens chooses his ten favourite plants for May. While designer Alison Jenkins shows how to create subtle and beautiful container displays for late spring. And nurserywoman Marina Christopher admires the flat-headed inflorescence and ferny foliage of the pollinator-friendly Apiaceae family.
