weeding out the best reads from another busy month on the internet
As August draws to a close, we've been busy designing and planting gardens. It really is a month of deepening blue skies and rich golden light.
Here's our pick of the best garden writing.
sowing 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.
preserving your produce - if you've been growing your own this year you'll enjoy this recipe article from The Telegraph. Onion, port and thyme marmalade anyone?
and sneaking through from July - this article in The Independent on Brockhampton Cottage, Brockhampton. Exactly the kind of garden we like to design and plant.
