Gardens Illustrated Magazine Special 2022 Vorige editie

The Summer issue of Gardens Illustrated takes us on a whirlwind tour of beautiful and imaginative gardens, including an Italian garden with a distinctly English flavour and a central Milan kindergarten filled with sensual and educational planting. We also drop in on an immaculate formal garden around a renovated church in Suffolk, with clipped topiary, frothy borders and a wildflower meadow, plus the home of plantspeople Chris and Toby Marchant, known for their contemporary naturalistic planting. We also follow the progress of Ula Maria’s show garden from the 2017 RHS Flower Show Tatton Park to her father’s tiny plot in Northamptonshire, and Helen Elks-Smith’s design for a garden that blends seamlessly into the surrounding New Forest landscape and brings the beauty of nature right up to new eco home. We also tour the ever-changing York Gate in Leeds, full of relatable, take-home garden ideas. Meanwhile Matthew Biggs gives his advice on growing and caring for repeat-flowering plants and head gardener Ben Pope advises on keeping a garden both beautiful and productive in high summer. We also recommend some fabulous places to stay – with a designer garden attached.
