I am a gardener and garden designer working in Central England since 2008. I specialise in the sympathetic renovation and restoration of gardens. Follow me as I chart progress in various gardens.
One of my hobbies includes Hermès silks, so expect my blog to be interspersed with the odd scarf or three. For me wearing a piece of silk art is the perfect antidote to a day's hard graft.
I'm a fan of "Lily of the Valley". By itself alone as a singular plant it doesn't command much attention, but as a ground cover in mass it's quite impressive. What is even better is its ability to take over shady dry spots in the garden where few other plants will take hold. I like plants with character that can take over a space. They crowd out the weeds, look beautiful and reduce the amount of mulching needed over time. Thus they lead to low maintenance gardens, just my style!
Yes to letting them spread, they sure make a fine sight! I find as a woodland plant they do better in damp shade, I have actually lost some where the ground was too dry.
