THE LEGEND LIVES ON • Barnsley House garden in the Cotswolds is synonymous with the late Rosemary Verey. Despite inevitable changes, her legacy is still maintained

A Stay at Barnsley House • Enter our competition to win a one-night stay for two people at Barnsley House, Rosemary Verey’s former home in the Cotswolds, and explore its timeless garden

A Prairie in ABSTRACT • At one acre, Tweedhill in the Scottish Borders was too small for a full-blown prairie, but key motifs such as grasses and vivid perennials have achieved David and Kim Warden’s ambition on a diminutive scale

CALM & REPOSE • Humphrey Avon commissioned Pauline and Paul McBride to create the soothing prairie-style garden at Burletts in West Sussex for the solace of his late wife Magrit, and it remains as a lasting tribute alongside her own work

Something out of NOTHING • Making a garden from scratch for a house that did not yet exist was no easy task for designer Alistair Baldwin, but at Tunstall Grange in North Yorkshire he has united the existing landscape with coherent planting and a dramatic new cascade

The Fast TRACK • At Highfield Farm in Monmouthshire, Jenny and Roger Lloyd used their vast experience to open a garden with instant impact, where dense perennials tower over narrow paths to immerse the visitor

Natural Beauty • Head of Horticulture at London’s Horniman Museum, Errol Fernandes picks ten plants for naturalistic schemes inspired by the museum’s Grassland Garden

Butterfly Effect • Often wrongly derided as a wasteland weed, buddleja lives up to its name of ‘butterfly bush’, its colourful, scented blooms being thronged by colourful pollinators all summer long. Here, National Collection holder and breeder Peter Moore recommends his favourite varieties

Keeping the Magic Alive • Graham Gough and Lucy Goffin look back over 25 years of innovation at Marchants Hardy Plants, as they prepare to pass the reins to a new team who will continue its enchanting legacy

Summer’s Last Hurrah • Summer is fading into autumn, but a golden, late-season sun is still bringing crops to fruition at Thyme in Southrop, with apples and root vegetables at their finest, and the final waves of courgettes, tomatoes, sweetcorn and beans ready to harvest

LIVE & LEARN • Studying a gardening course can set you on the path of a new career, but what you learn can also have a beneficial effect on your day-to-day life
