CONTRIBUTORS

Welcome

The English Garden

This Month • Our guide to plants, people, gardens and events, tasks and shopping in November

People to Meet • Introducing the gardeners and public figures we most admire in British horticulture

Out & About • Unmissable events, news and the very best gardens to visit this month

Bunny’s Diary • Bunny’s planting tulip bulbs, collecting fallen leaves and protecting tender plants

Beautiful & Useful • New plants, books, tools and creative designs, plus shopping inspiration

Light up the Night • Use lights to extend the time you spend in the garden as shorter autumn evenings draw in. Professionals can install systems to highlight specimen trees, steps or paths, but even a simple string of festoon lights or candles will jolly up a table this Bonfire Night. Ultimate Connect 5m Warm White Festoon Lights, £59.99. Tel: 01423 816040; lights4fun.co.uk.

The Price of PERFECTION • It may look sublime in its late-autumn finery, but for self-confessed perfectionist Arabella Lennox-Boyd there is always work to be done at Gresgarth Hall in Lancashire for “no garden is set in aspic”

Amassed WEALTH • Generations of the Berkeley family have worked on Spetchley Park, resulting in mature layers of planting and extensive botanical riches that make these Worcestershire gardens something to treasure

THE HOT SPOT • On the windy north-west coast of Scotland lies the astonishing Inverewe, where planting pockets cut into the sheltering pine forest and the warming effects of the North Atlantic Drift have allowed an almost tropical garden to flourish

Tough & TENDER • The autumn palette at Inverewe contains tender treasures and more familiar specimens

Living HISTORY • Thirteenth-century Brockholds Manor in Hertfordshire is imbued with a sense of the past, from venerable old trees to an ancient moat and listed outhouses. Its owners aim to tread lightly, preserving its heritage while adapting the garden to withstand a changing climate

Fire in the MIST • Piercing the cool autumnal haze that hangs over the pools at Daws Hall on the Essex-Sussex border is a glorious array of beautifully shaped specimen trees, blazing with seasonal colour and adding interest to an intentionally naturalistic setting

Wonders of the West • Enjoy a four-day break taking in the idyllic gardens of Somerset and Dorset, arranged for readers of The English Garden by travel specialists, Sisley Garden Tours

Multiple Choice • Multi-stem trees are a strikingly beautiful addition to any garden, and designer Stefano Marinaz suggests ten candidates particularly well suited to the form

Trees for All • Winter is the very best time of year to plant trees, and we have suggestions for small gardens, seasonal interest, different soil types and those seeking privacy

PLANTING AND CARING FOR TREES • Graeme Jenkins of Practicality Brown shares his planting tips

Get the Gloss • Robust, vigorous and diverse, hard-working evergreen pittosporum is the go-to statement shrub for practically any situation thanks to its gorgeously glossy foliage and low-maintenance habit

Plants for NOVEMBER • In the first of a four-part series exploring the most covetable plants of the winter season, Philip Clayton looks at shrubs for berries, flowers and foliage

Late to the Party • At Green & Gorgeous in Oxfordshire, owner Rachel Siegfried lets us in on...
