Hello Garden Friends I'm really looking forward to

Hello Garden Friends
I'm really looking forward to presenting my landscape design workshop at @tambeakitchengarden (near Wagga) on Sunday 7 November 2021 from 2.30pm - 5.30pm. 🌿Workshop Outline🌿
In this informative but relaxed workshop I will take you step by step through the approach I take to create a landscape design that is practical, beautiful and effective. You will first establish the parameters of your particular space and your priorities (what do you need from the garden, what are the constraints) so as to ensure the design ticks the practicality box. I will then teach you the essential garden design principles, why they work and how to apply them for successful ‘bones’ to a garden, and to make the most of your space. We then look at key elements of garden styles, and how best to achieve your style through landscape materials and a complementary colour palette for a cohesive look and to ensure all the elements are working together. I will give you practical tips for the actual designing process, and demonstrate differing styles and elements from images of my previous projects to help you visualise the different concepts. $95 includes the workshop, a delicious afternoon tea and Tambea hospitality. Bookings are essential and are available on their website

Hope to see you there
Happy Gardening

🌲🌳🌴TREE SELECTION🌴🌳🌲
In this month’s Garden Greetings newsletter we discuss the importance of the selection of trees in your garden.
Trees are the living structures of the garden that most likely will be the longest lived element in your garden, they will give the garden height, shade, permanence and as they grow older the trees will give the garden character and a sense of age.

If you make an informed decision in the beginning, you will select the correct species for your garden and then have the pleasure of watching the tree grow and know that you have done a small part to improve your local environment.

The factors you need to consider when you are selecting a tree;

🌿SIZE
🌿SHAPE OR HABIT
🌿QUALITY OF STOCK
🌿MAINTENANCE
🌿DECIDUOUS OR EVERGREEN
🌿FLOWERING OR FRUITING
🌿LIFE SPAN

If all of these elements are considered your trees will grow, thrive and survive the test of time.

In this month's newsletter we have a comprehensive

In this month's newsletter we have a comprehensive list of garden tasks for October. The first task I suggest is perhaps an easier more enjoyable one!
I have to admit I have never really wanted to give gardeners a monthly to do list in their garden as if you are a gardener, this list can be and normally is never ending. So my first task for you this month is to make the time to enjoy your garden. Now that daylight saving has started, take the time to have a walk around the garden in the evening with a refreshing beverage to enjoy the garden or select a spot to take a seat where you can admire what you have created and cared for. As the old saying goes “Always make time to smell the Roses”.

🌻PLANTS IN BLOOM🌻 Welcome to our new monthly

🌻PLANTS IN BLOOM🌻
Welcome to our new monthly feature where we will focus on what plants are flowering for that month.
With our garden maintenance business we have the unique experience to be travelling around this region visiting our clients and their gardens. We travel up to 2 hours in any direction from Young for our garden maintenance clients and we will travel even further for our garden design consults. We do have the opportunity to see such a wide range of plant species. Below I share with you the flowering plants (for October) that I think are reliable, hardy and definitely worth growing in your garden. By sharing the names of the plants when they are flowering, I hope you can then select plants for locations in your garden that might need some hits of colour at that particular time of year. I know this newsletter goes out to people located all over Australia and other parts of the world. As a general guide if you live further north east of Young or on the coast I would say the plants listed here are flowering 3 – 4 weeks or so earlier. If you live further south most likely these plants will be a few weeks later. I have listed out the top ten plants that are in flower at the moment in the gardens at The Berkshires and around the Hilltops region below. I hope this gives you some plant inspiration. For full coverage check out my monthly newsletter by subscribing on my website ( link in bio)
Plants in Bloom for October
1 Wisteria spp
2 Ceanothus spp
3 Bearded Iris and Dutch Iris

🌳TREE SELECTION 🌳
When I was selecting the trees for the #gardenattheberkshires I really wanted to focus on having spring flowering trees. I also wanted to have slightly different flowering times between all the trees. This way the spring blossom display lasts longer. Here in the garden the blossom season starts with the Almonds in mid August, the next stage is the Prunus Nigra, we then have the Capital Pears, then the Snow Pears. The Crab apples normally start to flower mid September followed by the Cercis" Forest Pansy". #spring

If you read my article in last week's newsletter you will understand where this idea of a meadow planting is coming from (I'm trying to emulate some garden travel experiences in my own garden ) .
Head over to my stories to see what I'm planting.
Stay tuned for more details on how we are creating the meadow planting at #thegardenattheberskhires. Thanks to @lambleynursery for all the recommendations on how to do this. #meadow #meadowgardens #seeds #cutflowers #thewildgardeners #gardentravel #whattodowhenyoucanttravel
