Well well well, that’s the first half of the year done and here we are in July.

If you are starting to think ahead to planting a formal hedge or topiary in the autumn, here’s some alternatives to Box to consider.

This month, we dig Amelanchier lamarckii. Originally ranging from Alaska in the USA to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Canada.

Now is the perfect time to begin installing plant supports into your borders. So this month we dig, natural plant supports.

Welcome to our first musing from down the garden path. So pour yourself a warm drink and head to a comfy chair. This month, we dig wisteria.

I’m excited to announce that I’m teaming up with Leaf & Dig to bring you a monthly gardening column!
