Create some height and interest in your garden

Sometimes when you look out at your garden, it can seem a little flat and lacking in something.  That 'something' is often structure, which can be difficult to achieve throughout the seasons, especially in the newer gardens. 

So how about adding these gorgeous obelisks, arches and trellis to your garden?  Handmade in the UK by a wirework designer-manufacturer, they create height and interest all year round, with the added bonus that they are beautiful with or without flowers

Use archways to create a link between two different areas of your garden or to frame a view through your garden.  Anchor into the garden by planting bushy lavender around the base

Try positioning three of these obelisks along a straight herbaceous bed to take the eye down the garden.  Allow annual climbers such a sweetpeas to scramble over during the summer months, then remove during the winter to show the delicate design of the obelisk

Great to hide a less-than-pretty wall.  Again try planting up with annual climbers throughout the summer, and leave bare during the winter to show-off the ornate wirework

Spring has sprung

The sun is out, the sky is blue and the magnolia tree in the field next to my house is coming into flower.  This is my favourite time of the year with all the possibilities of a gorgeous summer ahead of us.

Mother's Day Garden Gift Ideas

Whilst I don't necessarily agree with the commercial concept of Mother's Day, I do agree that we  sometimes need a reminder to spoil our mothers and to let them know that we appreciate their love and support.  I, for one, could not manage without my mum's help especially in the dog-sitting dept although the rest of the family have pointed out that the 'hairy' grandchildren do tend get preferential treatment.

So, if you're looking for something for a garden-loving mum, we have put together some ideas for you
