Visit to Guy & Mary's Garden

I visited Guy and Mary’s garden this week amid blue skies and summer heat.  As others who have visited will attest, it is charming and is full of interest.  I loved the front garden in particular with the ammi magis billowing elegantly through the roses,  delphiniums and linaria.   




Along the side of the house there is a shed to which Guy has attached his (or perhaps I should say Glenys’) tomatoes which are growing in front on tagetes cinnabar - a tall sprawling marigold ( I have some which Neela grew for me) which will hopefully deter aphids and be a colourful addition to the planting.  

The back is also lovely with lots of interesting plants and a great stand of verbena bonariensis and some imposing salvias, still  to flower.   However, the most interest plant from my perspective was the nepeta which is Hill Ground.  It is such a tidy catmint, but with plenty of flower, so a variety worth looking out for. 




Many thanks to Guy and Mary for their warm welcome
