weeding out the best reads from another busy month on the internet

As August draws to a close, I've been busy designing and planting gardens. It really is a month of deepening blue skies and rich golden light.

Here's my pick of the best garden writing.

  • sewing an arboretum from seed - a lovely article from Tom Stuart-Smith in The Guardian about Howick Hall in Northumberland, a vast stately garden planted with over 11,000 trees and shrubs grown from seed collected largely from Lord Howick's plant collecting trips in Asia. An inspiring achievement.

Happy gardening!

Round up! Weeding out the best of garden and design writing as I wend my merry way through the internet each month.
