Seasonal Planting

Here are a selection of reliable plants I grow in my Essex garden to provide interest and wildlife appeal throughout the the year. Most are easy to grow and hardy. The further north you are in the UK, Trachelospernum, nectarine, myrtle and the bottlebrush may be more of a challenge!

It would be good to include a visitors section here. If you have plants in your garden that are looking good at the moment, take a digital photo of them and email them to me as an attachment. Send them to:
