How Kew planted an American prairie in the heart of Sussex (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew have been in the forefront of planning for our future and an interesting experiment has now been running for several years at Wakehurst, Kew’s country cousin in West Sussex. It starts from the premise that many herbaceous plants, both annual and perennial, will frizzle away if higher temperatures and long periods without water become more frequent. Their roots cannot get down to the depth at which they find the water they need to grow, flower and seed. Such plant
A slice of heaven for fruit lovers: One of the world's greatest apple displays is about to take place in Devon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Europom is coming to England. Every year, it choreographs a spectacular show of autumn fruits in a different European country. This year’s event will be held at RHS Rosemoor in Devon on October 3–4. Try to get there—you will learn a lot and enjoy yourself enormously. Europom was founded in Switzerland in 1989 as a Europe-wide association of fruit-lovers determined to preserve ancient and local varieties.

We're heading for an autumn of unparalleled colour — but why? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Glorious leaf colours are one of the joys of autumn. They fill our landscapes and gardens with red, orange and yellow — colours unknown in summer.

Read excerpt
David and Sandra Burbidge have lived at Cedar House since 1975, but their garden has only begun to expand during the past few years as David plunges ever more deeply into enjoying his remarkable creation. Cedar House was Wasperton’s vicarage, sold off by the Diocese of Coventry in the 1930s and renamed in honour of the immense cedar of Lebanon that is still a fine feature of the woodland garden. The church itself was substantially rebuilt in the 1840s by Sir George Gilbert Scott, with some input
The Somerset house that brought 'jungle gardening' to the English (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lovers of Margery Fish’s famous garden at East Lambrook, Somerset, will be glad to know that it is once again in safe hands. It has passed through many owners since the great gardening writer died in 1969 and the new custodians Andrew and Alison Johnson moved in last May after fears that the house might be sold and the garden lost. The excellent news is that they are not only experienced and knowledgeable gardeners, but thrilled to be taking on such an important and historic masterpiece. Andrew
